I got this plant from a friend who neglected it, bushy, and with all kinds of queer root growth ( see photo). I then proceeded to pruning and am wondering if i did s sufficient job at it. Especially wondering bout the roots.(See photos of before and after) any thoughts, advise, violent reactions welcome.

He also said its 2yrs old. Should i be thinking bout repotting soon or immediately? I live in a tropical climate. Hot, humid and sunny, but i placed my plant at a spot with only good morning and afternoon sun. Is this ok?

Thanx,

hello, i think the roots are attractive, but if you maybe but the rock underneath the tree, it would look better (it is my opinion). look good in terms of branches though.

good luck!

If i maybe the rock? Remove? Replace? Lol.

Wat about repotting?

i get it, it is your tree qand your opinion is the mein one that counts, but repotting, now the only way i find out is by lifting thee tree carefully away from its pot, but do not take it out and take a peek.

good luck

hi, do not worry i was not offended in any way , but for the tree, i am not quite sure, definitely a kind of ficus but don't know what kind of ficus. doubt this helped, as you may already know what i said, but we did get somewhere.
