Ficus 每日吃瓜 lacking training (I believe) was created by romodobonsai

Hi there! Looking?for guidance on this Ficus bonsai. Had?it for about 3 years and I feel like it is out of training, yielding big leaves and long branches. I am attaching photos from a pruning I did a year ago vs how it looks today. It also stopped creating leaves out of that middle branch that now seems dead : (
Wonder if you guys have any advice for me in terms of improving foliage (smaller leaves, larger number)?and ramification.
Thanks in advance!?

Ficus microcarpa ginseng is not concidered bonsai by most people in the hobby.
Now, what you bought is a small leaf species grafted on the root stock of a big leaf species. The graft died and now you just have the big leaf species growing.
If you want to try again. Next time make sure to identify where the graft is and always remowe everything growing below it. If it gets a chanse to grow, it will abort the graft. Which you now know from own experience.
