    Hello All,

    I have a major problem with a weeping fig plant. (Ficus Benjamina) I keep it in my bedroom, which is rather dull as it's north facing.

    The leaves keep going yellow and droping off. There's hardly any leaves left on the plant.
    I've only had the plant about 2 months.

    I've tried hardly watering it, so that the soil is almost constantly dry.

    I've gone to the opposite end of the spectrum, by keeping the soil moist and giving it a feed.

    All to no avail. :-(

    Can someone give me some advice were I'm going wrong.

    Joe

    Hi Joe.... it needs more light and humidity.. more so, if it's the variegated type, how big is it ? but if you can give it now the right environment...it will grow new leaves later...just keep in on damp side and feed it on general fertiliser. May also need repotting... Keep reporting .
