Did you fertilize already? #### Yoaさんが2025-04-15に返信しました Also ensure lighting to fit your plant. #### Ionさんが2025-04-15に返信しました I didn't fertilize it, what should I use? Thank you ### Ionさんが2025-04-15にコメントしました How often do you water? ### Yoaさんが2025-04-15にコメントしました So most likely you can water when 1-2 inches of top soil is dry, just stick your finger in it. Fertilizer it could be one for indoor plants. Ensure that repotting is within a year to two, I’m sure she will let you know when is time. And lighting is key, if you would like to make the best of this baby. ### Ionさんが2025-04-15にコメントしました You, one last question for you. do you think it needs more light? should I move it near the window? ### Yoaさんが2025-04-15にコメントしました Near the window but not too close to it, allow the brightness of it to hit the plant. Like a reflection. ### Ionさんが2025-04-16にコメントしました Ok. Thank you very much! ### KJMさんが2025-04-16にコメントしました Benjamin can be very touchy. This is what I call The ficus freak out! Changes in its environment often cause it to freak out. Trim off any dead leaves branches, shape your plant as needed, make sure it has nice fresh soil and fertilize it weakly weekly. Find it's happy place and leave it there! #### Ionさんが2025-04-16に返信しました the problems started after we moved him, about 2 years ago. I also changed his pot and since then he has been looking worse and worse. are you saying I should cut off his dry branches? ### Ionさんが2025-04-16にコメントしました Thank you #### KJMさんが2025-04-16に返信しました Yes if the branch is dry it's dead. If you're not sure you could begin trimming near the end of the branch and keep trimming until you see any life in it. If it's brittle it's dead. ### KJMさんが2025-04-16にコメントしました Does the new pot have drainage? If it does not that would be a problem. They also don't like cold or warm drafts in the house. #### Ionさんが2025-04-16に返信しました yes, that could be the biggest problem. warm air currents from the vent in the winter and cold air currents in the summer. but I have no other option. Anyway, very useful advice, thanks. ### KJMさんが2025-04-16にコメントしました You are very welcome. --- _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_
