I rescued this ficus from certain death. When I found it, there were almost no leaves, and it was only 3 feet high. Because it was outdoors for a summer, millipedes had invaded the soil. I replaced the soil and washed the roots thoroughly. This is after the first winter inside, around six months after I found him the previous September.
Eventually it grew to the ceiling in height and had to be re-potted once into a large Chinese preserved egg container. I cared for this plant, whom I named Robert, for eight years.
