HELP! Does anybody know why my ficus leaves are turning brown?  
I have this plant for months and I’ve never had any issues.

Since it doesn’t seem to be placed directly in a window lighting would be my first recommendation to check! Next is having a peak at the soil since too little light often lead to water related issues. So: in a window facing east, west or close to a south one or under a grow light for 10-16h each day and check the soil 😊🪴 hang in there!
