Lately; however, many of it's leaves have been turning yellow and falling
off.

You have given us a lot to work with as far as information is
concerned.

I trust you are watering less since in the cool conditions you
describe the tree will not need as much water.

Even Ficus nerifolia can get root rot. Just to be sure pull the plant
out of the pot and check. Look at and smell the roots. Are they bright and
healthy or dark and dead? Do they smell sour?

The humidity tray thing is basically a myth. A tray of water under the
plant can't increase the humidity in the air enough to matter. Also the
Ficus doesn't have to have the humidity to survive.
