Ficus Dropping Leaves

I have an adult Ficus Retusa. I know that from time to time it will drop a leaf or two. But lately it seems its dropping too many, too often.

Before dropping, the leaves always get a sort of yellowish-brown pattern in the veins. Since this is so regular, I'm thinking I must be consistently doing something wrong.

Too much water? Not enough? Root problems? Anybody know?

Thanks.

Yes, ficus will drop its leaves under stress.

Too much light, too little light, too much water, etc.

Regards,

Matt
