Should I repot my fig?

• How long have you had your plant?
  • 2-3 years
  • Purchased from a grocery store and was about 2 feet high
  • Now measures about 6 feet tall
• What is the problem?
  • I’ve noticed the shape of the container beginning to look like an oval, rather than a round circle
  • I’m curious whether I should repot or not, however am well aware that this is a stressful event for figs!
• How often do you water your plant?
  • once per week
• How much do you water?
  • about 4 cups
• What does your drainage look like?
  • the pot is sitting in a plastic liner
  • the pot has multiple drainage holes
  • I never leave it sitting in standing water
• What soil are you using?
  • Whatever soil it came in!
  • It is in the original pot that I bought it in
• How often do you use fertilizer?
  • Never
• How much sun does your plant get? Where is it in your home?
  • It never gets direct sun
  • It sits by a window in the front of our house, facing SW
  • It probably gets 3-4 hours in summer of sunset sun filtered through a large tree that is directly outside the window

 

My questions are:

• Should I repot? If so, how big of a pot should I move it to? And what is the best process for doing this!
• Also, there are multiple damaged leaves on the lower half (from my young children poking holes…a tragedy!). Should I remove these? If so, what’s the best process? I’m afraid clipping them at all once would be a little shocking to the fig.
• Is there any advantage to trimming lower half + having it be more of a topiary style fig as opposed to leaving it as is, with leaves covering the whole “trunk?”

Thank you SO much for your time & consideration. Your website has been a great resource for me in caring for my first fig!
