Ficus has been growing out of the side, and it seems to be the only place where new growth was happening. I tried to trim it, and it just grew back. Suddenly last night, all of the side leaves turned yellow and a brand new couple ones sprouted in the older growth branches on top???

The new leafs are probably new growth if it’s growing like that. Yellow leafs are maybe a pest I’m not sure.
