So, I have some Ficus Ginseng doing great. I just got one that when i just looked at its roots to see how they were-there were none at all.
What can I do for it. This is the first time I have run across a plant with no roots. And that is not all that long after I got it. Is there something I can do for the poor plant? I need some advice on this one. Thank you, Carol

Pourly rooted cuttings is sold by milions every year. I do not concider this to have anything to do with bonsai. It is just bad business that destroy our hobby.

You need to read up on cutting propagation for the specific species. I think most species of ficus is very easy to propagate from cuttings.
