New Ficus Tree Leaf Drop: Acclimation Stress

Ficus drops leaves after any move—it’s normal. Your bedroom corner by a window is fine if it gets bright indirect light.

• Pot: Keep in original pot unless roots are visibly circling (pot-bound).
• Water: Let top inch dry between waterings.
• Fertilizer: High-nitrogen once now, then again in 6–12 months if needed.

Leaves will regrow rapidly once the plant settles. Don’t repot, don’t move it again.
