I bought my ficus tree a year ago today and it was very prim and proper. It now looks rather wild!

How do I get it to look as it once did?

It’s time to prune it. Looking stuff up is easiest, but basically you need to get some sterile clippers and cut the branches back to 2/3 of their original length or however long you like. Make sure to cut right above a node.

Thank you! Would I do this to every branch?
