Ficii (or ficus??, Jerry would know) can handle a lot of torment, though. For this reason, I prefer just to completely defoliate them.

I would be cautious of this advice...It depends on the variety of ficus you are working with...most benji varieties tend to have severe die back if no leaf is on the branch...climate and season also have a great impact on total defoliation...
