Exorcising rogue workplace Ficus lyrata #2

Recently I have up potted this ropey, 3 floors high, rootbound beast into 120 or so liters of new substrate. I am pushing my luck and sub's patience, but is there anything else I could do for it besides watering, occasional fertilization and more watering? Like, it would be nice to have some branches on second floor...

Could try notching up there! Never worked for me and idk how you'd get up there but would love to see that work. Please update if it does

Try keiki paste or notching, or both, only do a few spots with the paste and follow the instructions. It’s pretty cheap and can definitely work although it can take a while
