My First Ficus
Ok everyone. I'm quite the beginner here. I bought this ficus in a much smaller pot about 5 years ago and proceeded to neglect it for most of that time. I only just repotted it last spring and started taking an interest in the art and in shaping it.
At some point in the recent months, I got a bit sheer happy and left it with only a few leaves. They're starting to fill in and I'm starting to pinch it back for ramification.
I've decided on a windswept style. The apex used to point straight to the left and is now wired up. The lower branch and the branch on the right just had wire removed as I noticed it was starting to bite in. At this point, I plan on growing the apex above the lower branches on the right.
Thought, concerns and Ideas would be very welcome.
