What pictures?

Probably having the same problem posting pics that I am...no matter what size I try to post I get a message that the file is too big :((

If it's growing horizontal maybe it would like to be a semi or full cascade?? Those are always nice.
If you really want it vert. maybe just put two sticks on either side and use some string to support it for a while?
Just my thoughts but I like to keep things simple most of the time anyway.

Yes, it may just have a naturally horizontal growth pattern (though I find that a bit weird for Ficus), so why not just go with it instead of trying to fight it (in this case, at least)? I seriously suggest though that you go to Photobucket, and then post the link here - make your life easier.

Are you sure it's the Moreton Bay Fig(F.macrophylla)? They dont reproduce from seed in California. No fig wasp for them. I'm not sure if any of the ornamental figs reproduce here.

i got a picasa account and now i have the links so you all can see the tree, the cutting of it looks a bit rough but keep in mind that this tree was a weed for a long time before i decided to keep it

Thanks for the update with pics!
A picture paints a thousand words, as they say.

no problem

That is very,very,cool. If that doesn't look like a slice of overgrown Thai to Mayan Jungle....
The indoor giant terraium is something that should be enjoyed more by those in cold winter climates. Great alternative to a greenhouse.
