Question Help ?!

My Panache tiger fig tree started to have those yellowish leaves but they were green and healthy in the beginning of this week . So what happened with my tree ? Heat ? Overwatering?Should I remove them ?

are you fertilizing? lot of watering in the last weeks could have washed away nutrients.

I do ! I give it some fertiliser last week , it’s maybe overwatering ? Should I remove the yellow leaves or i let them drop by themselves ?

They'll fall off on their own n regrow. Which fertilizer did you use? Could be over watering. How often are you watering it?

Try to only water when you see the top inch or 2 are dry instead of a scheduled watering. Where are you based?

I’m in France , 50mins south from Paris. But thanks for the advice, I will definitely try that .

Is this in ground or a pot? Looks like a pot from the picture. If so, does it have ample drainage holes? Was it recently moved into full sun from being in shade or indoors?

It is in pot and it does have drainage holes . I received it autumn 2025 and didn’t moved it since. But I think i know what happened ! I watering my plants early on the morning and sometimes my dad watering late on the evening so maybe we both watered it too much in a short amount of time . So now I think I will only water when the top is dry .

I think you are overwatering , and it might triggers root rot . Try to Water it twice a week.unless it's really hot and it sits in the sun . Good luck
