Hi! I need help again. I got this Ficus Tineke on clearance today for under $10. Any tips to help it? Also it has these bugs…I assume I should remove all that soil, clean it up and repot?

I’d agree! It’s probably suffering some root rot considering how moist the soil is and how droopy the leaves all. Take it out, check the roots, and repot with new soil… maybe downgrade the size if a lot of the roots need to be chopped

Keep it away from your other plants until you repot! After you remove the old soil and Free the roots, I would submerge the plant in a bucket of water with one tablespoon of any liquid dish soap. I find this to be very effective in getting rid of pests. If you can’t submerge it just wash the leaves and stems with the soapy water. Repeat if needed
