HOHas this happened to you? 🙋🏼♀️ Let’s fix it! ⤵️ make sure you save & share with someone who owns a ficus 🤗
Ficus are known for dropping their leaves when they’re slightly unhappy, and I hadn’t watered this triangularis variegata for a bit too long 😬
✨ snip a branch or make a small cut, if sap starts to drip there’s hope!
✨ make sure it’s in the conditions it needs to thrive—ficus appreciate bright light, a west or south window ideally
✨ figure out their watering needs—obviously this triangularis variegata needs to be watered more often than my others, a ficus benjamina ‘el dorado’ has had the same care and hasn’t dropped a single leaf
✨ My plan to help it recover and grow new leaves is to water when the soil is dry 1/2 way down vs completely dry like I do for my other ficus. Keep it in a bright window and fertilize (linked in bio). It should be just fine now that we’re going into spring.
