Hi everyone,

I have been caring for a Ficus for a few years now. In the last week or so, it started dropping leaves. A few of these leaves are yellowish, while others have brown or black marks on them. I've attached a few photos.

The tree doesn't seem healthy, and I'm not sure how to fix things. Any help would be very much appreciated! This little tree is part of the family and we really don't want to lose it. Here are a few details:

- I live in the south of the United Kingdom.
- I water approximately once per weak by submerging the pot into water for a couple of minutes.
- I use a drop of bonsai feed mixed in with the water.
- I leave the tree by the window you can see in the photos. Sometimes this window is open, at other times it is not.
- I last repotted about 18 months ago.
- When I bought the tree, I was told that it was 25 years old, but that might not be true.

Thank you!!

In UK ficus should be outdoors in summer.

Your watering method is wrong and it may cause root rot. Always water trees from above.

The soil looks dry on the photo and once per week watering is seldom enough in summer.

Do you use AC unit in your home in heat waves?

Thank you. I will switch the watering method. If root rot is already setting in, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Also, with autumn now arriving, is it too late to put the bonsai outside, or should I do that anyway?

I have a small fan which is occasionally used, but nothing substantial, no AC.

I would be for a transpotage in a pot 2 times larger, to see the dead leaves, it would be more a lack of water!!
