# My Ficus keeps losing leaves due to an unknown reason. The leaves…

_Pubblicato da CrazyBoutPlants17 il 2023-05-24_

My Ficus keeps losing leaves due to an unknown reason. The leaves turn yellow, and then brown, and then to the slightest touch, just fall off. I’ve looked everywhere and can not figure out what is happening! I’ll change the soil tomorrow, and I hope that will help! I’ve also tried more water, less water, pulling off old leaves, and nothing seems to work. It keeps spreading up the plant, and so far I’ve lost almost half of it, and I don’t know why. Any other ideas? I’m really needing some help!

I just took a closer look, and it seems as if my plant has a disease!!?

I’ll try that too!

It also may be stressed, due to change in light and watering schedule. It looks like it is in different spots in every picture.

I did try moving it to a spot with more light yeah. I’m just hoping it gets better!

I think it’s light as well. The pot might also be too big depending on how the roots are. These guys like to be in tighter pots! I had more success when I actually downsized my ficus burgundy.

Did you figure out what was going on with your ficus?  
I have one too and treating for fungus gnats.

I never figured out what it was. I gave it more light, and it’s doing okay
