Hey all,
Bought this the other day and just thought I'd gather some general thoughts on it. I want to slip pot it, but I'm wondering if I should do it at an angle. Thought I'd see what you all have to say.

Re: Small Tigerbark Ficus
There's a cluster of branches in the middle of the trunk that can be seen in the other pictures, so I think I am definitely going to remove those. When repotting today, I'll follow this sort of trunkline, which will require me to tilt the tree back a little bit.

Re: Small Tigerbark Ficus
I like that plan FG - tilting in the first 2 pictures didn't do anything for me

Thanks Tony.
Repotted today and tilted slightly: I think I'm aiming for this sort of look:
