I've been studying pictures of river banks, edges of lakes, etc. to get a better idea of how I want to disguise that divider using the moss and muck. to make it look better.
Also studying rocks normally appearing near water features and such.
I water this tree by putting the end of my wand into the water and letting it overflow into the pot section containing the tree, then water overhead. This takes care of the dreaded mosquito larva, though I've never seen any in there.
Here is the most recent picture of the tree, after wiring it to allow more light into the interior.

After fertilizing in the spring, it should grow much better, and this pot will do a great job of slowing down the growth a bit so it doesn't triple in size like the other ficus I'm growing.
I'll share updates often as I have fairly high hopes that this will turn into a nice planting. If not, it will still be something fun to play with.
If you look closely, you can see my small mudman collection on the window sill too...
