Please help I can’t find the needed info online anywhere. I just got this ginseng ficus microcarpa I found at Lowe’s about a week ago or so, it has some lime green-yellowish leaves that drop every so often and a couple had some black/purple/brown spots any ideas as to what the cause could be? The soil is damp to the point it’s the shape of the nursery pot it’s in but otherwise looks healthy to me, roots don’t look rotted. Considering a repot into well draining soil, but same size nursery pot, but I’m a bit worried to do so as I just brought it home and don’t want to over stress it. Below is a picture of when I got it before removing the fallen and yellow leaves, and giving it a spray of Neem oil. The second is the black spotted leaves. Is this due to a fungal issue?

    You need to repot in some better draining soil. The soil used for big box store bonsai is garbage. I got one from Lowe’s on clearance for 13.00 that was looking bad. Changed the soil and been fertilizing back to health. Also make sure it gets plenty of light. I rotate my trees under a good grow light in winter for the indoor type.

    That’s it after repot when I first got it.

    Also looking at the leaves they need to be cleaned. Wipe them down with a damp paper towel to remove the build up of them. It will help it better photosensitivity.
