I've had my Ficus lyrata for about four months now, and I'm still figuring out what it actually wants. Mine keeps dropping lower leaves even though I water it when the top inch feels dry and it gets bright, indirect light. I read that they're sensitive to moving around, so I'm trying to resist the urge to shuffle it. Has anyone else dealt with this, or am I just being impatient? I'd love to know if there's something obvious I'm missing.
