# Hoping someone can help! My Fig has been doing okay since I brought…

_Posted by Lost Hyperion 🪴 on 2025-08-16_

Hoping someone can help! My Fig has been doing okay since I brought it home a few months ago. But as of about 2 weeks ago, it's starting to turn its bottom leafs yellow and eventually fall off! First one, now two with a possible third starting to go! I've repotted it twice and checked out the roots.. all of which are fine and soil was clear can't see any pests. Anyone have any other ideas?

Looks like overwatering

That's what I was thinking but the roots looked just fine today... i repotted it in some fresh dry soil today so I won't give any water until next due to give it a break and see if that receives the issue.... many thanks!

Mine does this when she gets too heavy. But yours looks amazing!

I was hoping it was just shedding older leafs but when I seen the 3rd one turning yellow I started to panic 😆

Mine is doing the same but I’m scared to repot. I hear they’re very dramatic.

Always best to double check the roots 🙌 she was very happy until recently so deffo being dramatic hahaa hopefully it stops
