Hello :)
I’ve repotted my beloved tree which I believe is a ficus retusa. After being in my home for 4 years I finally repotted it in a much bigger pot as you can see in the pic. It’s so far thriving again.
I’m not sure how to go about helping the tree start new growth on the left side of the pic... any help would be appreciated. I’m waiting another 2 weeks before I fertilise it as I have read not to do so until a month after repotting.
Also I didn’t wire it down as it wasn’t wired down in the old pot is that okay? Or must I use the wire to secure it down?
Thanks so much :) any help would greatly be appreciated

For questions about houseplants, find an expert on ficus on a houseplants forum. You will get a better response there.
