Indoor Ficus plants

Help! My indoor ficus are giving up the ghost. The leaves are going all floppy and drooping then drying up and falling off! This is not the usual "leaf drop" that occurs naturally. Does anyone know what it is, why it is happening or what I can do? Thanks :(

Do you run a dehumidifier or heatpump through the winter? This can really dry out their leaves so you need to re humidify them by spraying with a water mist

Did you ease off the watering for winter as overwatering will do this.

I have no luck with ficus either. I bought a beautiful one a few months back and now pretty much all the leaves have dropped. I keep it in the lounge though and we have a fire on so maybe it just got too hot.
