HELP! Braided Ficus dying
 
Help. I have a Braided Ficus and its clearly dying. The leaves are
drying up. I was a j*ck*ss and had it on a window sill basically
touching the window as well as 3 feet from a radiator for a good
majority of the NE winter. I thought thas the cause, however, recently
I noticed that their are little white globblets of gunk right where
the leaf meets the stem.

I know I was a bad Braided Ficus tree owner but I've only had it for a
few months and just didn't realize it until it was too late.... don't
judge me......anyway, if anyone could give me some insight into what
the heck is happening and most importantly how to save my plant!!,


thanks,
todd

HELP! Braided Ficus dying
 
While Cereus gave good advice for the type of person who assumes it's the
plants' fault for dying. In your case, I would suggest moving it away from
the DRY heat source, and putting it somewhere with more moisture and good
diffused light. Water when dry, and see if it comes back within a month or
so.

If not, then do what Cereus said.
