Hey guys,
I've had this Ficus (Buddha's Belly Fig) bonsai for going on 7 years now. In that time I haven't been the best bonsai mother. About 8 months ago I decided it was time to repot him to allow him to grow more, and since then he has grown a lot, but not in all the right places. I have attached a few photos of the growth and shape I am currently experiencing. As you can see in the photos he's a bit of an odd shape, and there are some areas that have never experienced any growth. I am looking to hopefully change this so I can have the full and beautiful bonsai of my dreams.
I was wondering if anybody would be able to give me some tips on the best way to achieve fullness and, if possible, even growth.
Thank you.

Well... ficus ginseng is not generally considered as a bonsai, it is just one type of ficus grafted on the roots of another one.
So... in general you have to improve your plants health by doing what you would do to any other plant: plenty of light ( outside), water when needed and fertilise now and then. Mind that there is no such thing as an indoor tree ( not one tree in the entire world lives naturally indoors). So when temps are still ok in your part of the world you can place it outside.
