Finally figured out why my Ficus lyrata kept dropping leaves—it wasn't the watering, it was the drafts from my ceiling fan. Moved it away from the airflow three months ago and it's actually thriving now. The new growth is so much fuller than before. Anyone else have issues with air movement triggering leaf drop on theirs, or was I just overthinking?
