Pruning tips and fusing tips pls

I just pruned first time ever! And am hoping I didn’t take off too much. I am also worried about the watering as well And how often roughly (I know it’s to how dry the soil is) but I am looking to get a general idea of how often most people water their ginseng ficus.


i bought my ginseng ficus on a 6 in pot and repotted in to the blue bonsai pot. It’s in Tinyroots tropical blend soil. In a south facing window on a humidity try with a humidifier on near it as well. I most it atleast a couple times a day as well. Not sure if that’s too much or not. I live in the high Rockies in Colorado and it’s a desert climate so it is very dry. I been watering everyday bc seemingly it’s dry. but idk if that’s just how the soil is. Has anyone else used a the Tinyroots tropical blend before? or sifted soil like this?

Also I am trying to fuse together some limbs to make a branch and I’m not sure if I went about it right but I wrapped the three limbs together with plastic wrap snuggly. will this set? The wrap is clear. If put foil over it would that help it? Can I pull the limbs down and put the tips in the ground to form more external roots?


here are some photos of my ficus. it’s only been 4 or 5 days since I have had it and repotted it. but I got the before the prune and after and some in between stuff but that’s mostly just small clippings for shape......like I know how to shape my bonsai lol. But any and all tips are appriciated. sorry for the long post!
