# My little ficus has been dropping leaves like crazy, like three or…

_Postat av Lynda den 2025-01-13_

My little ficus has been dropping leaves like crazy, like three or four a day for the past two weeks. However, if you’ll notice inside the leaves, close to the stems, there are little green berries, which I have never seen before! I have to assume that even though she’s dropping leaves, which she has done in the past, she must be happy. Comments…?

These plants drop leaves for a few reasons typically. Roots staying wet too long or they get a cold draft or not enough light. Any combination of these things and it will drop leaves daily.

TXS for your reply! Do you know if it’s common for this ficus to have berries like this? I’ve had this plant for at least three years, and it’s never produced berries. TIA…

Yep it’s the fruit. Not edible though.

😝… too bad about those berries…!

A few of my plants are losing leaves, some quite a bit. I was told that the drop is from the change in temperature. Winter has come full force and it's hard to keep the house as warm as I can.

I think you’re right about the change of seasons being the problem here. I have five different kinds of ficus, and all of them have dropped a substantial number of leaves in the past few weeks as the temperatures have dropped. TXS for helping me put my mind at ease!  
Stay warm!

Since its fruiting, you may want to hit it with a bit of diluted fertilizer.

#### Lynda svarade den 2025-01-13

I use plant juice by Elm Dirt every time I water, and that’s for all of my plants! Is that overkill for this time of year? TIA…

No, that's good. I fertilize all year too
