# I don't know what to do to my ficus (Tiney). All her her leaves…

_Posted by J. Gibson on 2025-08-03_

I don't know what to do to my ficus (Tiney). All her her leaves dropped except 2. Although I wanted to give up on Tiney something kept saying hold on. Next think I know she was sprouting leaves like crazy. She looks naked. There's no leaves at the bottom. The picture on the right is a view from the top while the picture on the left is a view from the side. Can you please help.? What should i do?

If leaves don’t grow on the bottom I would wait a week and chop her to make her smaller but I’ve never had one that’s just past experience talking 😂

What’s the root situation? I find mine drop leaves when there’s a root issue - either it needs a bigger pot (if it’s root bound) or smaller if the roots have too much space

The leaf drop started when i moved the plant from the window to the entry way. The roots strong i know it could use a repot because i can see the roots on top the soil.
