root over rock - how big should ficus be?

I recently purchased a small ficus (about 4.5" tall) and I'm really interested in the root-over-rock style but I'm wondering if this plant is too small to start that yet.

No, it's not too small, but you'd need to be very careful with the roots and how you attach it. What did you have in mind?

If you're asking in terms of what kind of rock - not sure. I have a couple of nice pieces of granite that have lots of mica in them... hope that answers your question! Thanks for your reply.
