Answer
Hello Maria,
    Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your question. I was out of town and did not realize my set vacation time had expired and that I had started receiving questions.

Ficus trees are quite well known for dropping leaves for the slightest reason. In the fall it is normal for a Ficus to drop about 20%-30% of it's leaves. They usually always grow back come spring.

Check the tree to see if it is still alive. With a sharp knife make a tiny nick in one of the larger trunks. If it is green inside then there is hope the plant will come back. If there is no green inside any of the stems or trunk then the tree is dead.

If the plant is still alive then bring it inside and set it in a warm, sunny place. Do not put it back outside until there is no chance of the temperature dropping below 65 degrees.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or need additional information please don't hesitate to ask.
          Thanks
