Tamara, you may want to look into ANYTHING BUT a ficus!! :rolleyes:
Now, don't get me wrong, I love ficus, have had one for years, but I call it my "drama queen"
plant!
They are very fussy -
If they don't like their location, they drop their leaves.
If you change their location, they drop their leaves.
If they get too warm, they drop their leaves.
If they get a draft, they drop their leaves.
If they get too dry, they drop their leaves.
If they get too wet, they drop their leaves.
If you look at them the wrong way, they drop their leaves. (okay, I'm kidding on this one, but it's almost that bad :rolleyes: )
Now, if the conditions are just perfect, they are a beautiful, fairly low maintenance
plant! But oftentimes, the process of trying to figure out those perfect conditions leaves you with a leafless
plant!
