Hi! I bought a Ficus Audrey house plant about 2 months ago. Over time she started turned yellow and brown with crispy leaves. Then she just dropped all over leaves. I followed the letting the top soil dry before watering again and misted regularly. I've provided photos of when I first got the plant, when the plant started to turn yellow, and most recently when all the leaves dropped. Is this plant a goner? It's the only plant I've killed out of my many plants!

Hi & welcome! Is this usually near a window? Did you take it out of the original pot and put it in the white pot? Does the white pot have a hole in the bottom?

Yes this plant was near a window! I repotted it after letting it adjust to the new environment about 3 weeks after getting it! The pot does have a hole.

That all sounds good. I have no way of knowing if it got too dry. Doesn't sound like it stayed too wet.

If you scratch it near the tip, does it exude white sap? If so, there's still a chance. What direction does the window face? Are there curtains or blinds? When you water it does water come out the bottom?

Yes it does leak sap when pricked at the top! It sits on my dining table there's a wall of north windows, one east window, and some light from south windows in the other room that reach the plant but it never gets direct sunlight. But the room is pretty well sunlit!

Oh and yes water does come out the bottom drain hole when watered!

It's still not enough light unless it is within2' of a window. To you it's 'well-lit', to a plant it's dim shade.
