Ficus 'Nina' with Curled Leaves and Black Bugs: Return It

Not a Normal Indoor Pest – Return the Plant

Your newly purchased Ficus benjamina 'Nina' has curled leaves harboring slender black bugs. You removed the curled leaves, but bugs persist in new growth.

Diagnosis

These are not typical indoor ficus pests. The infestation likely came from the grower. The plant is not healthy.

Action

Return it to the seller for a full refund. Do not attempt to treat – it’s a losing battle and risks spreading to other plants.

Insist on a pest-free replacement or your money back.
