My ginseng ficus when I first got him he was full of leaves but then a month later is started to fall this was in October is last year and now in may is almost leafless it has the little leaves in the branches but they are not bloom like coming out idk why but right now the only leaves it has are turning yellow soo they might fall too soon if I don’t do something I think it because I sleep with a ceiling fan and maybe that the reason they are falling buttt please hello me I don’t want him to die

    He's extremely dehydrated (look at his big roots; they're shriveling.) Give him a long (anywhere from 20 minutes to a full day) bottom-watering soak, then make sure the soil drains well, then do normal care (with more frequent watering than what you've been doing. Ficus should get water at least once a week to once every other week)

      Also since he already has lots of aerial roots, you can mist him to help. Just be sure to water regularly, misting alone is not enough to keep it hydrated

      Water him again next week. For the misting, focus on the aerial roots; the leaves don't care
