# Any suggestions/tips/tricks for shaping a Ficus Audrey? Long story…

Any suggestions/tips/tricks for shaping a Ficus Audrey?  
Long story short, Miss Audrey Sanchez has been placed in my care after some neglect. I’ve started slowly removing the burnt leaves (she was in a southwest facing window for a time) and trying not to shock her but eventually would like to get her into more tree, less bush. I am nervous because she’s not fully mine and I don’t want to mess her up!  
I’m doing research but thought I’d take advantage of this plant loving community as well. Any suggestions appreciated!

Hi, I’ve never shaped a plant / a ficus -but planning to 😃 Aldo’s bit scared. I asked ChatGPT, so if you haven’t tried AI, that could perhaps be of some help if you take photos and ask the AI to create pictures for you on where to cut the branches, what time of the year, etc. I would also try different AIs to see if they give me different answers 🫪😅

But I bought a smaller Ficus Audrey in September that now is feeling bad. My learnings with plants and especially Ficus plants with the help of this app and AI is that the soil is important.
