When did you get it? From where did you buy it?

I got it a month ago from a nursery, I had it in my office with some light, indoors, first it eas well but then all the leafs started to fall even when being green, also I could see some resine driping out from the wood.

Now I have it home outdoors, but need to know how much sun it needs and water, it still has some leafs but not quite much, maybe around 10......

What can I do, please help!!,!

Are there rocks glued to the top of the soil? Green leaves falling like that, after a month, sounds like maybe root rot.

Ginseng Ficus are fine indoors, within a foot or two of a south, east, or west window should be just fine. As for watering, it depends on the soil, the tree, the season. Do a search on chopstick method and you should find several detailed instructions.
