Beginner needs help with ficus retusa.

I'm from Estonia and I tried to get help from bonsai.ee/forum - my home bonsai forum but they didn't answer me.

I got this bonsai (ficus retusa) as birthday present and I haven't had bonsai before. I've read some information about it but I haven't got a clue how to apply this info on my bonsai.

I kinda think that I should make it grow aerial roots to make it fit into some kind of style. I have understanded that i need plastic(?) to cover it's roots, then they will come. True? I also need to cut it, but how?

Since I got it, i have only watered and admired it, now i do it with special fertilizer.

Please help me with my bonsai.

P.S. I've made a picture with my cell (therefore sorry for the poor quality) and uploaded it so you could give me specific advice.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:9615}}
