My ficus looks really sad and has been that way for quite a while; I don't remember the last time I watered it—more than two weeks ago, I think. I also tried moving it to my covered balcony but brought it back inside, and its leaves have been drooping for some time now. I don't know what to do. Also, this leaf tore a little and looks like this.

Prolly more sunlight, could use a repotting and good water.
