Looking for advice for caring for this ficus bonsai. It’s typically kept in a pretty shaded spot and I just moved it to an area that receives speckled indirect sunlight. I’ve pruned off some of the dead parts but looking for advice to give this baby a beautiful life!

So far it looks pretty good. As it grows new leaves, I'd suggest pinch-pruning to encourage it to make new branches further down
