Banyan Ficus Problems

[Nafretiri_Mutnodjmet]

I may have to concur - for some reason I didn't see the photos showing no foliage. In that case scratch the trunk with your fingernail - if there is no green just underneath the bark it is dead. If so it was the watering and keeping inside that killed it. Get another one, keep it outside and water it once a day.

Hi Bougy Fan
Did that yesterday, scratch the biggest part of the trunk & it actually showed that it was hollow inside, scratch another section, not hollow there but no green either; but from seeing the hollow bit so quick with just a few scratches, it occurred to me it most certainly passed on .
I have three others that I'm keeping outside now & have watered (I'm making the most of the sun, before the windy cold weather & rain comes back). Thank you for the help though

are you serious?

Hello & yes I am serious, after all I have hardly any experience & would like some help on the matter. I've looked into google, searching up what I've noticed on my bonsai. I'm left with more questions then answers; since a few sites mention that mushy is associated with root rot, & then root rot apparently is from over-watering, however I have stated in my post that I've been lacking on giving my plants water. So besides needing more water (and yes I'm little worried about over-watering now), I wonder what else could be causing issues, or whether my bonsai is going to need other additional attention. Possibly receive some advice on any issues my tree is showing, that someone with more experience can pick up on.

Thank you

apologies---I don't think your fig will recover in the short term if at all---you may have to move on to another plant--if you can, join a bonsai club --

Hi Guy
That is alright, I was at lost with what to do. My first bonsai has had hardly any problems, & my second only had one major problem (pests) & is better. However my third one had so many problems (not straight away, a few months down the track), it pretty much hit me hard, having to deal with constant issues, from pests to fungicide (which my grandfather told me that was what the white stuff was), that I couldn't keep up. Plus the constant cold weather, I couldn't give them sunlight, so I resorted to house light which as you know, would only provide very little light compared to the sun (obviously) if anything. Just for the record, I came to the conclusion it has passed on now
I would love to join a Bonsai club, but sadly in this small town, there isn't any , though I'm hoping to meet other enthusiasts here, just because the local Mitre 10 store sell Bonsais, & I have seem some locals' bonsai display at miniature carnivals that are held here.
Thank you for your suggestions though
