I’m thinking about planting my verigated ficus outside it keeps outgrowing its pot, it’s about eight feet high. There are no scructures nearby except for a retaining wall about two feet away

ficus plants are like pets, really!!. They will tell you if you listen(feel) them; when they need water, sunlight, and most especailly “recognizing” they are a part of your household, family…..it takes more than just water, sunlight, to cause them to flurish….they need to know that YOU recognize their “living, breathing” existance as much more than what you “see”….I’ve had one which is very tall for over 15 to 20 years, recently purchased a “baby” 3 years ago, growing like mad!!! they are so beautiful and are just lovely to have around….I believe there are some plants that have a great affinity to certain people more than others….the Ficus (for me) is mhy “kindred spirit”(smile)

i’ve had ficus trees in my garden for a long time, they are all in large pots. I know they can be finicky but i’ve never had one react like this. I live in SoCAl and we just had a ton a of rain.BUt there is drain holes on the bottom it is just losing leaves like crazy.What should I do?
