| May 5, 2018 at 6:30 | comment | added | benn | @VividD, I wouldn't use fungicide. The plant above ground looks okay, it doesn't look like it is affected by infection. So just cover the roots properly with soil would be my advice. | |

| May 4, 2018 at 20:32 | comment | added | benn | Root pruning is meant to keep the plant small, and should only be done with a healthy strong plant. I would just cover the roots more with soil for now. | |
| May 4, 2018 at 20:16 | comment | added | Bamboo | It looks like it needs root pruning, another technique bonsai growers have to learn...and I'm neither a grower nor lover of them, so I can't tell you how to do root pruning either... | |

| May 4, 2018 at 11:49 | comment | added | VividD | Thanks for the answer, the exposed roots look fibrous, not woody (as desired in some bonsai tecniques), mainly dark (the dark color doesn't look healthy to me either). I'll try taking photos soon, be patient. | |
