Ficus Benjamina ‘Midnight’ Dropping Green Leaves: Diagnostic Questions

Sudden green leaf drop in a stable environment is unusual. To diagnose: check for trunk cracks, dry/crispy leaves, hard ball-like growths, drainage holes, watering method, water quality, pruning history. Photos help. One overnight soak could trigger root rot if drainage is poor. Systematic info gathering is essential before treatment.
