Reviving a Frozen Outdoor Ficus Tree

Ficus benjamina Freeze Recovery

If roots didn’t endure prolonged hard freeze, an 8-foot outdoor ficus can recover.

Steps

1. Indoors, directly in front of sunny window.
2. Prune back ⅓; remove dead/brittle branches entirely.
3. Water when top inch dry.
4. No repot/fertilizer until fully recovered.
5. Be patient—slow comeback.

Don’t force growth; let it rebuild.
