My Ficus 'AliI' is about 27 years with me, got it as rooted cuttings from Woolworth on 6ave across from Radio Music Hall: used to work in the building above and got to sit next to the south window ..so immediately ran out and bought a bunch of plants!
Freshly bare-root repotted it last August , pruned and left for FL. Chancy, but it did very well: is in best condition ever. I grow it in a smallish 10" pot as I don't want a huge plant. It takes a haircut twice a year.
