Help for my Weeping Fig!?

I know that sounds a bit rude...but its a genuine plea for a 3 year old plant that keeps dropping leaves. They go yellow first then drop. It is growing new leaves too. Is it normal for a weeping fig to drop leaves?

It is a very popular house plant in temperate areas, due to its elegant growth and tolerance of poor growing conditions; it does best under bright, sunny conditions but will also tolerate considerable shade. It requires a moderate amount of watering in summer, and only enough to keep it from drying out in the winter. It does not need to be misted. The plant is sensitive to cold and should be protected from strong drafts. When grown indoors, it can grow too large for its situation, and may need drastic pruning or replacing.



The leaves are very sensitive to small changes in light. When it is re-located it reacts by dropping many of its leaves and replacing them with new leaves adapted to the new light intensity.
Reply:Good answer...henceforth the name weeping fig. When moved it is likely to lose leaves ( the weeping effect). Report It
Reply:Most plants drop some or all their leaves depending on the seasons. Or, your fig may have gone without water.

Reply:It's perfectly normal for the fig tree and many more plants to lose leaves, if it's still growing new leaves it'll be o.k. Make sure you keep it well watered.
