Hey. 👋🏻 This ficus benjamina has been pretty neglected for about 4 years; it's been in a fairly sunny windowsill and gets watered now and then, but is looking quite sorry for itself. I've just repotted (it was pretty snug in the original) but haven't done anything else yet — could anyone suggest the best course of action? Should I prune a bit, as it's so leggy? It's got some fresh leaves on it.
