Please Help me - My ficus trunk is shriveling

Hi Guys , As u can see in the picture my Bonsai trunk (the right one ) is shriveling and drying out , why this happening ???
and what should i do ????

ur answers would be so helpful

Tnx

What kind of soil is it in? How often do you water?

Just the typical soil i ve bought from nurseries , and i water it 2 or 3 times per week

Hi,  I was given a recommendation by an expert in growing ficus bonsai from Porto Rico.  He uses only lava rock for soil.  So I tried this with my ficus and they have flourished!   It seems to me that garden soil has held too much water and is killing your bonsai.

If this were my ficus I would try to save the rest of the tree by taking it out of this soil and cutting back any rot you find; then transplant into a free flowing gravel such as lava.

Good luck!
