I have a ficus that's been in the same very large pot for twenty years or more. We recently moved it outside for washing and a bit of dappled sunshine, and the move broke it loose from the soil. It leans. Should I prop it up and hope the roots take hold again, or should I re-pot it?

Personal opinion, if you haven't refreshed the soil in 20 years, it's probably time to do so. I would put it in a larget pot with fresh organic potting soil.

That should read "larger" pot.
