Saving a Leggy Ficus ali (Long-leaf Fig) with Pruning and Light

A 6-foot Ficus binnendijkii 'Alii' in a bathroom has lost 2/3 of its leaves. Expert Will Creed stresses light is critical: place within feet of an unobstructed window (north window = right in front). Bathroom humidity benefits are a myth. Stop fertilizing—it's not medicine and burns roots. Prune stems back by one-third; new growth emerges below cuts. Annual pruning maintains shape. Provide bright light for a fuller, healthier tree.
