The Ficus benjamina was very unhealthy when I received it. I shook off almost all of the dead leaves before I brought it into the house. The next day I clipped off the dead stems. I repotted it into a bigger pot, and am trying to remember to feed it regularly. I think the leggy growth is due to lack of light, so I am giving it plenty of indirect sunlight.
