How to care for information:

  •  Ensure you are following a consistent watering routine. Sometimes when a ficus plant is moved, it will go into shock causing it to lose leaves. Don’t worry as this is only temporary. If you find a spot with bright light, keep it there.
  •  Try not to let the plant become super dried out stage as the very dry soil then wet soil action can result in edema which is essentially moisture stress. Keep a consistent watering routine.
  •  Sometimes when new leaves cannot become fully developed, it means there is a lack of nutrients or sunlight.
