What constitutes “high quality” potting soil?

Hi, I have a huge ficus I inherited and it has outgrown its large pot and needs fresh soil. I can't find a larger pot. Should I trim roots? It also is bare on one side against the wall, how do I stimulate growth there? I just put it outside FYI. TY!

Plant them outside they get so tall and are beautiful, resistant to almost everything and can withstand extreme heat..even Az heat.

HI there. I bought this same tree today. I used stones for drainage and top soil mix. to a larger pot. I had bought a DRACAENA MARGINATA and a Plaited Trunk Parchia Plant.. both lasted 1 year rotted and died. I'm trying once again with my new ficus tree..  It's in close to the window. I'd like to know how much water and how often for the same size tree you potted in video? Fertilizer how often what brand  ? How often do I have to Repot ?? Thank you. Great video btw.

Hi I bought a Ficus Benjamina last month, not repoting yet, but few leaves are falling off, water it, n also fertlizer applied. Should I take it outside for 2 hours or more. Our weather here is getting cold.
