Tiny Ficus

Here's a tiny Ficus that I made with a cutting of one of my large Ficus.
I wanted to use a smaller pot, but the one I have is too small. I'll have to find something in between sometime.
I want to wire the first branch on the right down yet.

That is a tiny little ficus! You will need to use some fine wire to work on that! Is it neriifolia? Why did you position it so much off-center in the pot?

Regards,

Matt

Matt,
The tag on it when I bought the tree said Ficus Benjamin "too little".
As for potting it off-center,......? I guess I got confused. I do a lot of photography and the rule is thirds.

Oh wanted to add, I will most likely use fishing string tied around the pot to wire the branch down. I would be afraid of damaging the branch with wire.
