Why are the leaves on my umbrella plant turning black?

i bought this thing about a week ago, and since putting it in a window--i haven't trans-potted it yet-- the topmost leaves are turning black and falling off. help!

Why are the leaves on my umbrella plant turning black?
Maybe it is getting too hot/cold near the window..the light from the window maybe too intense for it..trying moving it away from the window..also definately re-pot it so that it goes into fresh, well draining soil.
Reply:How did you get this plant home? If you put a large plant in the back of a pickup or sticking part of it out a window if it doesn't fit in a car. The wind hitting a plant..tree ...shrub going down the road will burn it. Cut offf the black .. it will only make the plant bushier.
Reply:too wet? not enough light? getting a draft? over a heat vent?
