Why is my ficus dropping leaves?
Ficus drop leaves from stress. Check the mix: wet means overwatering (let it dry further between waterings); bone dry means it went thirsty. If moisture is fine, look at recent changes — a move, a draft, or a cold window — and keep it in one bright, stable spot. Some leaf drop after shipping or a move is normal and settles within a few weeks.
