First off put her in a pot with drainage.

Water her when soil feels almost dry. The smaller the pot the more often you will need to water. ðŸ’Ķ

Fertilize often

Prune her often that will give you a more full tree.

Provide plenty of light mine is under grow lights 12 hours a day.

It needs 6 to 8 hours indirect sunlight. Water weekly from the bottom. Sit it in a tray of water for 30 min. Misting every few days helps. These like warmth and humidity. Fertilize every 3 months with multipurpose liquid fertilizer mixed with 50% water. Pruning every few months helps the trunk to thicken as well as shaping the tree to your liking. Have fun with shaping it. I gave pasted link with info on bonsai care and training. https://www.thespruce.com/growing-ginseng-ficus-bonsai-5083016#toc-ginseng-ficus-bonsai-care. Have fun!
