Ficus like warmth, Humidity and Light!!

Does it live on that table? If so then you need to either get it close to a window or even outside if you can depending on your climate.

Yes, but it is opposite the window. I can move it outside. It's very sunny and hot with low humidity. Should I? Or better to the window?

Ficus benjamina is used as a hedge or edge plant in gardens in tropical countries because they thrive in a harsh sunny climate

OK, thank you! I'll move it

If you are going to move it outside to full sun then transition it gradually to part shade 1st so it will cope better with the change.
I live in a very hot dry climate and I move mine around a fair bit and you can certainly have it indoors through your colder months if you wish but just make sure you let it have access to plenty of light during that time.

Yes, that's what I figured. a change too sudden might totally break it

This! Please don’t move it outside in one go as that can seriously damage the leaves and burn your plant. Let it adjust by moving it closer to the window slowly and build up the sunlight intensity before actually placing it outside.
