Is this ficus worth keeping?

I get 9x12x 3" deep plastic collanders from Wal-Mart. The sides are solid, but the entire bottom is mesh. Great little training pots. Only being 3" deep, you're not going to grow a deep root mass that you'll only have to cut back later on. They work for me. Larry

Well, I looked at every store in town and the best I could find is a 12x6x4.5. Given that the last pot was a 6x6x5 round, I don't think I could have went any more shallow without pruning roots, which I don't think I should do right now. I also went with an orchid mix of course peet, fir bark, and charcoal. It's pretty much the best I could find without mixing my own, which I also don't feel comfortable doing yet. I'll try to post a picture later.
