Go ahead and remove any glued on rocks so you can see when the soil needs or doesn't need a watering. Then post a pic here then maybe someone will help you start the future game plan for the new ficus. Also doing a forum and a google search on "ficus" will get you some good info.

I'm not sure what you mean by "taming" the thing.
Most ficus aren't too dangerous unless they're cornered  Generally, you can trim, prune, and wire it into any shape that pleases you. The art of bonsai is in giving the viewer the feeling that they are seeing a huge old tree in nature when they look at it. What does your tree look like? pix? pootsie |
