I woke up this morning to find another leaf turning like this ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RUJBAWkHlVjPmTmdw0u__e3euKuYBNQrtBBAZQIUhXc/Tm4AssCTQumoYwkhOVzRSw.webp?size=large) ## 16件のコメント ### Allyさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました Yeah it looks like it, I would spray all the roots with a pesticide and use some sticky traps ### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました it could be but it looks like it’s the lowest leaf and those are the oldest and die off first. it’s hard to tell from the photo but could those be thrips on that leaf? #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました i’m not too sure, there’s white dots on a lot of the leaves but i scratch them and they don’t move or come off ### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました are the white spots only on the oldest leaves? or the newer leaves too? #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました i’m pretty sure it’s on all of them, but they do not come off #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RUJBAWkHlVjPmTmdw0u__e3euKuYBNQrtBBAZQIUhXc/veqCSpNgRk-TJApjRLK9Cw.webp?size=large) #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました this is what it looked like 2 days ago and all of a sudden the leaves are turning yellow ### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました oh you have a ficus! those white spots are normal for ficus plants. phew, haha. when you watered it, did you check the soil first? was it completely dry? #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました yes it was very dry #### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-02に返信しました wow, I’m rather stumped. ficus can be very finicky so perhaps it wasn’t watered consistently before you had it and it’s now deciding to throw a fit. so sorry I wasn’t any help! if I find anything else out, I’ll let you know. #### Sunnyさんが2024-03-02に返信しました Did you check for a completely dry soil with a wooden skewer to the bottom of the soil because the leaves look like they are over watered? The other possibility is stress from coming into a new environment causing leaf drop. I recommend just leaving it alone in one spot for awhile letting it adjust. Let the soil dry out before watering again. ### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-02にコメントしました oh wait, how much sun is it getting? ficus like A LOT of sunlight. my two ficus are close to a south window and get direct sunlight. #### Madisonさんが2024-03-02に返信しました it is in a south facing window:((( It’s been cloudy the past few days tho #### Madisonさんが2024-03-03に返信しました The leafs that were yellow are now turning brown.. #### Madisonさんが2024-03-04に返信しました should i repot maybe? #### Tigerlillyさんが2024-03-04に返信しました I would definitely check the roots. no need to repot, per se. if the roots are rooting, I would propagate the plant and try to save it that way. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
