Ha, ha, guess you did just walk into that one. Jokesters:)
In order for your ficus to become more dense, you have to cut it back. Find the lesser leafed stalks and cut them back to the point where you want a new head to grow. At least one new head will sprout from the point at which you cut it.

I have to agree with Leslie, but before you do this why don't you air layer it ? strip off the leaves from a section of the plant 15 to30 cm make a shallow cut up into the centre just below a bud, sprinkle on hormone rooting powder and pack moist sphagnum moss into and round the cut enclose the whole in a sleeve of clear plastic sheeting tied securely top and bottom. support with a cane. the layer is ready to remove when roots are visible. Then you have a new plant to do what you wish , and your plant is already cut back. You not only in courage your plant to become more dense but you multiply as well

stop teaching it to read - education is affecting its denseness
