Hi all! First time poster. I bought a healthy ficus Benjamina and placed it next to a north facing window.
for the first month. It only lost 2-3 leaves but recently it’s been dropping leaves like crazy. I watered the plant in full before I left for a week long trip and when I came back there were a bunch of leaves on the floor. I insterted a moisture probe and deep into the pot it reads medium. Here are some pictures of the leaves:
At this point I assumed I overwatered it before I left. I held off on watering and now parts of the soil read ‘moist’ while others read dry. Leaves are still dropping like crazy.
should I go ahead and water my ficus? I’m not sure whether I’ve been over or under watering.
