Ficus Repotting Shock: Cut Roots AND Upsize Pot = Double Shock—Move Back to Smaller Pot, Max Sun, Empty Saucer

Mistake

Cutting roots and moving to larger pot simultaneously causes severe shock. Do one or the other.

Fix

• Move back to smaller pot.
• Place in sunniest possible location.
• Empty saucer 1 hr after watering (standing water rots remaining roots).
• Be patient; it will recover if not overwatered.
