With its bizarre aerial roots, the Ficus Ginseng, also known as the laurel fig, is a very attractive houseplant. However, the attractiveness quickly leaves a lot to be desired when the leaves, which are actually lush green, turn yellow. Then quick action is called for.
Yellow leaves on Ficus Ginseng can have very different causes
Possible reasons for yellow leaves:
- waterlogging
- dryness
- nutrient deficiency
- pot may be too small
How can I help my Ficus Ginseng?
Even the finger test will probably show you why the leaves of your Ficus Ginseng have turned yellow. If the planter is too small, you should repot your laurel fig immediately to avoid further nutrient deficiencies.
Too wet or too dry soil can be clearly felt. Of course, watering helps when it’s dry, but depriving it of water when it’s waterlogged. If your laurel fig has already suffered significant damage or lost many leaves, it is better to repot the plant in dry soil.

Regular fertilization helps against nutrient deficiencies.
