Hi, my bonsai, a ficus, has some leafs affected and what is more alarming is that 3 out of 4 roots are hollowon the inside(they seem to be empty, nothing solid inside), What can I do? There is no sign on insects on the leafs.
It still have a lot of healty leafs.

You are probably giving it too much water. Or you let it dry out. Or..

Pictures might help Where do you keep it?

Well bonsai or not, doesn’t matter, I dont want to lose it. I have it for a few years and didn’t had issues with it.
