Fiscus Ginseng with Hollow Root Help Please!

[NotAGoodPlantParent]

Hey, I recently bought a 'Fiscus Microcarpa Ginseng' bonsai. Sadly it seems to have a hollow root(shown in picture), which I can fit an entire finger into (see attached pictures). As I am new to Ginseng plants I would love some help as to whether the hollow trunk is bad for the plant, is rot, or should simply be left alone. The roots feel strong and sturdy, even the hollow one, and aren't wrinkled etc.
Thanks

Thanks

Welcome to crazy!

My suggestion would be to ground layer it at a point where the flare looks realistic to what a large tree in nature would look like. The problem with ginseng ficus is how out of scale the big tuberous roots are to the trunk of the tree. If you search the site, you will find lots of examples of ground layers.

You could turn it into a design feature..
