A couple stems of my ficus are shriveling up and turning black. It started with one stem, and is spreading to more stems, all from the same trunk. Any thoughts on how I can save the tree?

Can you take it out of the pot and loot at the roots? It could have an infection, if it does all May be lost but if you look at the roots and only a few are black/rotten then you may be able to cut them off to save the tree. Just change the soil in case it is a virus/infection.

Thanks! We took a look at the roots, and it looks okay. We ended up taking out the dying part of the plant. Fingered crossed that the rest of it will recover.
