Ficus not tolerate low temperatures (below 16 degrees). In such a climate, all processes slow down in the winter, and then watered with warm water is necessary only once a week, and if the room + 10-14S, it stopped altogether.
Care should be taken that the soil in indoor pot does not turn into a swamp. Too frequent and abundant watering will provoke the development of root rot, which will weaken the plant, and it will be forced to dump the leaves.

Ficus are not too capricious plants. But the negligence and lack of attention to itself can not stand. If ficus flushes per day up to 10 sheets, adjust care. When fallen leaves too much, change agricultural techniques.
