007 is right! chuck it in a big 12" pot and some decent bonsai mix and it will thrive! but the things with ficus is they need to be warm! they cant thrive in very cold weather, so when it starts getting cold around your part bring it in! oh actually, its autumn in australia at the moment its probably about to be really hot where you are!
umm, ive defoliated a couple of my ficus actually it was already bare in the middle of summer when i bought it. in about week or 2 it was full of leaves again! that said, another way would be to defoliate the top of the tree and get it to sprout out down low, i mean the sky is the limit! im not going to even give my opinions anymore in case i get the "big boys" telling me that i dont know anything or what im talking about anymore....
