My Poor Ficus
OK...
Had this ficus for a year. Have done great with it. Not a yellow leaf so far. one day last week, I woke up and found a couple yellow leaves. now, half the plant is yellow. I called a local plant shop and they suggested it was because it was fall. Anyone know if this is true? I've had it for a year and it's done great. I didn't change anything in terms of care. Thanks, J. |

Yes it is true, Virginia.
Leaves fall in the autumn as the days get shorter. People make an annual pilgrimage to New England every autumn just to see the leaves change colors and fall off the trees. Check it out. Blame it on the vernal equinox and the creator. "DemonSeedDiva" wrote in message oups.com... OK... Had this ficus for a year. Have done great with it.

Thanks, J. Ficus are very temperamental about light and temperature. So they are right. Lower light levels and room temp will cause this. Don't worry, new leaves will come back.

No Randy spanker.
Once a leaf is lost, it will never come back. New leaves are produced with the new growth. "Tom Randy" wrote in message news:2005100108490277923%Sorry@spamsucksnet...

Which Ficus is that, Davypoo?
Its a very large genus. Even Ficus elastica eventually sheds its outermost leaves in the autumn, babe. "David Ross" wrote in message ... "Cereus-validus......." wrote: Yes it is true, Virginia.

This about fall is a good joke, I have ficus benjamin and it is evergreen, sometimes few leaves fall off, but it is caused by the some stress, one my ficus benjamin had little fruits twice, also very interesting and decorative. No too much water, position- I have them all around living room, in shade, window, all are ok, also near tv and comp, no stress (2 meters high, dark green and healthy) |
