Taiwan Ficus Bonsai Leggy, Sparse: Stop Fertilizer, Increase Light

Taiwan Ficus 2 months; rapid leaf drop, leggy growth, pale leaves. Fed, watered per general instructions.

Immediate

1. Stop fertilizing (weak tree).
2. Increase light: part sun outdoors if possible.
3. Assess watering: not too wet/dry.

Why Leggy?

• Low light = etiolation (long internodes, pale leaves).
• Ficus drops leaves when moved/stressed.
