My ficus dropped leaves but then bounced back...
My ficus looked really sad after dropping almost all its leaves... I gave it more light and less water, and it started to bounce back. How do you handle plants that seem to be struggling?

Ugh, classic ficus drama! It throws a huge tantrum by dropping all its clothes, then acts like nothing happened when you finally give it what it wants.

Those ficus plants are known for their mood swings. Read somewhere that leaf dropping is a stress response to changes in light or water. Once they get used to the new place, they usually perk right up.

It's such a relief when they pull through, isn't it? What kind of light did you move yours to?
