Hello,
I have my first bonsai (ficus ginseng microcarpa, I think) for about a year now, and since than I have repoted it using special soil for bonsai after I bought it, also pruned it in the automn. It seems to be doing well, I also use bonsai fertilizer now and then, but most of it’s leaves are on one side and it just dosen’t look well proportioned. All the branches left are green on top, I have removed the dried ones. Do you have any advices? I don’t know if it should be shaped more or if I’m doing anything wrong. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

These plants (the way they are formed, not the species) are not really considered bonsai.
You can trim the branches that get too long. If you're into growing real bonsai, I'd suggest you start at the top of this page: "What is 名媛直播"
