I've had my Ficus lyrata for about eight months now and it's finally stopped dropping leaves, which I'm taking as a win. I think the turning point was moving it away from the direct afternoon sun—I'd read they like bright, indirect light, but I didn't realize how scorched the leaves looked until I shifted it. Has anyone else struggled with leaf drop on theirs? I'm still nervous every time I water it.
