Thanks for the? advice!
benjamina ficus is like the? prissy princess of all trees.. if it’s not paradise, it’s unhappy
@ricomike i am gardener? and i can tell you: ficus benjamina doesnt need full sun… indirect sunlight? is better
and when you keep it at the window and you open the window, it is not good for the ficus because it doesnt like too? much wind, so it drops its leaves. the same thing happens with too much sun ! ficus burns its leaves in direct sunlight

My Ficus gets about 4-6 hours of sun by sitting right near a window yet its leaves are still drying? up and falling off I tried watering more but not excessively yet it still keeps dropping dry grayish brown looking leaves. Is there any rule of thumb for watering like some amount of water per inch of ficus height in some given amount of time.
Whoa, nice videos. HD as well. :]
Very useful,? just bought a benjamina. 5/5!
