Any tips for reporting a ficus tineke? I hear they don’t really like it! Mine is showing signs of being root bound and I want to give it more space to grow.

I just ripped the bandaid and repotted mine. I did it during grow season so she’ll be more likely to recover ❤️‍🩹

I reported mine, no issues. It did great after bc it was root bound before. Just do it :)

Thanks for the encouragement. Just need to grab some soil and I’ll do it!
