Not Watered for Two Weeks was created by bk95

Hello,

I have a two year old ficus. Over the holidays, I was out of town and my friend forgot to water it. I promptly watered it upon returning, but it's dropping a significant portion of it's leaves, and more continue to turn brown.

Any suggestions on what to do? Should I just water normally and hope it rebounds, or is there something specific that might help?

Thanks!

water it less then normal, as it has lost lots of leaves. So be carefull to now not overwater it. Then just wait.
