My ficuses leaves are turning yellow. Is this normal? I’ve had her for a long time and I don’t remember her doing this.

Hi @EcoPlantLover 👋. Oh that’s too bad! Typically when the leaves are yellowing up the plant stems like that I’d suspect it’s been overwatered. They look droopy. Check the soil to see if it’s wet. You may want to check the roots for signs of root rot (brown, mushy, maybe smelly too). Yellow leaves can happen if it got too dry, or exposed to too much light. Did you have it outside or suddenly in some direct sun indoors?
Hey @MariansOasis, I just checked the roots, soil, and plant. The soil was actually very dry. The plant felt firm when I pinched it. Her roots are really deep so I couldn’t see them. I think I need to repot her. 😅 I rejuvenated the most that is usually on top of the soil.
@EcoPlantLover good thing you checked! Hopefully some fresh soil and a good drink 💦 will get her back on track!🙌
