@speedstr yes, but I didn't cut off the dying buds as shown in the video. It made a comeback on its own. I initially had it indoor, on the balcony, and the temperature drastically dropped which caused the problem. Later had it outdoor under full sunlight (6 hours) and it made a great recovery.

I've got a gardenia bonsai I mistakenly bought from 1800Flowers, I cancelled the order and it showed up anyways. I bought a much better tree from Brussels Bonsai, and that one is doing well. The one from 1800Flowers came from CA and understandably they drenched it before shipping. I get that they wanted it to be watered for a few days while it travels to the east coast. Well the problem with that is I got a fungus issue right off the bat. I've been battling it daily for about 2 months with neem oil and am starting to see leaves without fungus. However most of the leaves have fallen off. I'm wondering if I should do a similar thing to what you did here, and just snip everything clean to rid the tree of any more potential fungus. It just seems it's best to nip off all the leaves and let it grow back fresh.

Hi Jerome, thanks for the tip. I have the same problem with my fig trees. The winter was quite cold after all. I was told that the trees are hardy ... but unfortunately that was probably not quite right. The trees are just starting to get back very small buds on the healthy wood. I should have cut back the brown branches much earlier. I will do it right away. Probably they would have recovered faster if I had done it right away. LG from Germany your fan Stefan

What tempreture is too low for a ficus to survive outside. (Celsius) Also i might add i have only recently aquired this as a gift and it has been 2 weeks now. After a week i noticed yellow leaves (5). Now week 2 i am noticing a few more and a couple brown (8). Im worried but trying to figure out why it's unhappy. I dont think im over wstering it as i check the soil to mKe sure its not wet when i do water it. And its in a terracotta pot woth drainage hole.

I should have watched this before re-potting my little ficus bonsai after all its leaves fell out. I thought it's cuz of bad soil :( It was already too small to begin with. Doesn't even have any branches as such. I don't know if I should cut anything off of it now. I saw some new leaves on it a couple of weeks ago so I kept it in the sun, and that made those new leaves fall off. So I brought it back inside. Not sure what to do with it or if it'll come back to life at all.

Hi, I have a very overgrown ficus ginseng plant that I recently repotted. First I gave the roots a big “haircut” however, on advice from another channel. I think I cut it back too much… anyway now the leaves are quickly turning yellow and falling off, and some branches have shriveled green leaves. Did I just overwater? Or did I possibly kill the roots? I’m sad bc I’ve had this tree for 7 years! 😢

i like how you kept it short you forgot to add humidity and temperature in the recovery process though indoor ficus recovery should be done in the warmest room with 10hours of 4000k led each day and sprayed with mist once outside ficus needs 2-3 misting per day and sunlight should be southeast or south for 6-8 hours because otherwise the west 1-7pm sun can cause shock and lower humidity
