I know these guys are infamous for leaf drop. But I feel like the amount of leaf drop on mine might be a bit much. Any care tips to reduce this? Do they like to stay more on the moist side? Brighter light? North facing window, northern hemisphere

It may just need a bit more light. North-facing windows can provide nice consistent indirect light, but sometimes the soil doesn’t get enough warmth or gentle sun exposure to fully dry between waterings. A little brighter light can often help balance things out and keep the roots and plant happier 🌿

A ficus of mine wants a lot of light. I’ve added a grow light near it. It doesn’t entirely seem to be working though! Ficus just seem to want to be difficult!
