Is my ficus dying?

Hi All,

I seem to be having similar problem to the one discussed in this post. My ficus has lost all of its bottom leaves. The ones on top are nice a green (see pics) but they seem to fall out eventually as well - they don't even turn yellow!

It used to be impossible to control this puppy, now it seems to be just sitting there. I will be very greateful for any suggestions you might have.

Thank you!

Re: Is my ficus dying?

ok as with the other ficus tree thread...... they are very finiky about how you treat them... if you had it it a spot fer a long time them moved it that could make it drop leaves... also it could be too close to central air. More then likely it may need a litl ebit more light or its natural... mine does the same thing every year remeber it isnt a bush its a tree so it does have a bare trunk.
