Hey,
Ive had some weeping figs in my terrarium for a while now.
Since about the second week of them being in there they have been dropping leaves.
One of them I took out and put outside and it seems to have recovered now.
The terrarium is kind of near a window.
Is this a sign that the plants need move UVB as I currently have no day light bulb on the terrarium that provides this?

probably lack of light mate, but could also be shock as plants do sometimes drop leafs right after being put in a viv with higher humidity than what they are used to and should recover fine.
I would add a daylight tube to the viv tho for sure if you want plants to grow well for you. _________________ Paul

Ive ordered a UVB light to go in.
Ive also put the plants outside for now and hope they recover like the other one did.
Cheers
