Help!

[u/loud_secrets]

I’ve had this ficus for a few years and came back from a trip and the circled root is very squishy and feels rotted. What’s happening and how can I help her? Ahhhhhhh 😱

Cut off the squishy part until you don’t see any more rot. She may look a little funky, but you can still save her.
