Hi Everybody,

I'm asking your help. I know you've heard a lot of stories like this, but long story short: Brought a beautiful Ficus Ginseng at IKEA (2 month ago). I've read a lot of blogs and forums and know how to care this wonder. The conditions are fine: indoor/lots of light/not too cold, not too hot. I'm watering it properly and fertilizing as well but more than 50% of the leaves has fallen. I've never tried pruning, wireing and repotting the tree. Besides the leaves are falling, some new light green leaves also stared to grow, so I hope it's not dying. I've attached some pictures, maybe some of you, a.k.a. treemasters have some tips how to stop leaves falling or what should I do. I think maybe you can notice some issues on the picture that I can not

Thanks for your help
Gergo

Sorry, here are the pictures:

Indeed we have. If you use the search function, you will find lots of posts about ficus dropping leaves and growing new ones as well.

However, this is a bonsai forum and what you have is a house plant, not a bonsai. Bonsai advice does not apply, so you're probably better of on forum about ficus in general.

It is a common problem though and there's a lot to find, like this site:

if it is sprouting new leaves, that means that the tree is healthy. wouldnt worry too much. complications like this are usually caused by less than ideal conditions for a short amount of time, however conditions must be on check now as it is growing healthily.
