This is my first winter with my ficus ingens. I set up a 2x4 grow tent for all my tropicals for the winter and I have noticed my ficus ingens has been having its leaves progressively turn brown and fall off. I have kept ficus long enough to know that some types do not like changes in light, temperature, humidity, hell some dont even like to be moved to a different window sill. I have been watering it regularly and have been making sure it doesn't stay soggy. Has anyone else with a ficus ingens experienced this problem when it comes time to overwinter? Is this just how they shed their leaves when they are mad at you? I will add pictures in the morning when the lights come on.
 
it isn't one of the easiest south african figs to grow... it sulks easily...
it does however have the most beautiful spring leaves of any ficus worldwide :)
