Dear all,
My colleague is moving house and left me his ficus bonsai but it does not look in a great shape so I am putting it in your hand. I did some research and it is looking like root rot as they are completely mushy and the trees does not really stand on its own anymore. I am not clear on what I should be doing now and if it is not a lost cause?
Many thanks in advance for the good soul who will respond!

I would recommend asking this in a potted houseplant forum. The plant you show has nthing to do with the artform of bonsai, except for the label Ikea puts on it.

I would not give up hope.
If you know how to do it, cut back the rotten roots and repot it in a good soil mix.
But...
Leatherback is right, yours is not a bonsai at all.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
I told you I didnt know anything about bonsai. I am just a plant rescuer that felt bad for this one. So I go to bed more enlightened, can someone explain me the difference?
