What should i do with this ficus? was created by Chiefbonsai

I bought this ficus with 4 trees in it intertwined and about half of its roots exposed. I plucked a lot of leaves off and put it in a pot and put spangum around and inside its exposed roots with some rocks. Any thoughts on how i should go about this guy?

Hi and welcome.

You got not so bad one, this tree can come up with some potential. I guess this is your first tree and I am afraid jumping straight to repotting was not your best move. Anyway, I hope it goes well in future. It is always good to search around the forum to get answers before you open new thread. You will be surprised how many opened topics on Ficus we already have here. Some videos for you below.






Good luck.

Jumping right in right? How long have you had the plant? Do you know how to care for it?

For now, do nothing. You may find that the plants will drop their leaves. That is not directly a cause for concern: Ficus does not like change and respond to it by dropping the leaves. Make sure it is in a warm sunny location. Do not let it dry out. Do not keep it soaking wet. Wait.
