Re: Help with pre bonsai
Do you mean the new leaves or old leaves are yellow? New leaves would be strange. Ficus sometimes drop old leaves when conditions change or they're stressed. It's like they're just diverting energy to where it's more important. Sounds like that's what's going on, but pictures would help rule out any strange pest or such.
Cheers, Karl

Re: Help with pre bonsai
the new leaves are yellow? If so that is worrying.
Yello old leaves are no problem as it will drop the old ones normally
