I am in desperate need of shaping and wiring, and expert advice from the forums for my ficus. I feel clueless as to what kind of shape I should give it. There are 3 main branches, and everything is just so straight, so I'm not sure as to how I should prune it. I would imagine I would have to wait to prune it back during late winter or else it would go into a dormant stage again. Or can I do it now?
I am clearly new, but I am becoming very interested and fascinated by bonsais but I'm also on a low low budget so I need to research everything being unable to drive anywhere to get help.
I am thinking of putting a rock under the roots next winter or should I not?
Should I be cutting off any branches? When should I do it?

If I could get any advice, it would be amazing!
