Hi everyone!
I got this little guy a couple of weeks ago and it’s adorably bushy. It’s by a south-east facing window where it gets plenty of light and when the sun hits directly in the afternoons I simply cover the window with a translucent curtain so it gets filtered light.
As you can see it has 5 stems (plus a tiny one with a leaf already) that make up the bush.
My question is: should I prune it now that it’s little?
And if so, which stem should I leave as the main trunk and what do I do with the others?
Can I repot those I take out and end up with 5 fig trees?
Thanks for your help!

Looks beautiful as is! Also, they don’t love changes so I’d not rush into anything for a bit. Gorgeous plant obviously started and grown with care and good conditions.
I’d probably just let it grow like it is. I don’t like to prune unless I have to. Others might have different advice though. It’s a lovely plant!
Don’t prune yet, let it grow a couple feet first
you can always remove lower growth later, much harder to encourage new lower branching. id leave it alone for a while and decide down the road if you really want to shape it up.
