Unhappy Ficus Ginseng - Dropping Leaves was created by Ed_and_Jo

Our new beautiful ficus ginseng from Ikea is losing its leaves fast. We try to spray the surface of it¡¯s soil every couple of days, and water it well once per week. We don¡¯t think we¡¯re overwatering it, maybe the opposite.

It¡¯s near a window but never in direct sunlight, and the room isn¡¯t particularly bright.

Any ideas of how to save our once beautiful tree??

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Note this is a forum about the art of bonsai, not about braided house plants.

Seems your plant is not getting enough light and it is not properly watered. As this is not a bonsai and bonsai techniques hardly apply, you will probably get a better reply on a forum for houseplants, like this one:
