Hello!
My name is Samuel, I am 23 and I am Portuguese. I started this hobby a year ago, due to a Carmona (Fukien Tea) I got as a birthday gift.
I recently received this Ficus (images). It is a beautiful plant, but I am not sure if it qualifies as a Bonsai. Even so, let's assume it is a Bonsai.
What should I do with it next? What are your thoughts? I will leave my own here:
Wiring the top branches and pruning a bit to give it a cleaner look
Give it some front-back movement with the wiring
Making the branches go a bit downwards
Getting a rock for the first arc, "U" shaped, upside down, to give some action to that part of the plant
Or shortening it by layering it until the first arc (medium term action)
What do you think about it? Please share your thoughts with me, I will be grateful!
Thank you,
Samuel
