Hi!
I bought this focus bonsai a couple of weeks ago from local supermarket. Recently it started having a black dry spots on leaves and it getting worse. What is happening? How can I help my little tree?
I am a beginner with this plants.

Well, its a ficus ginseng, not considered a bonsai by most.
Treat it as any normal houseplant, and it will do just fine.

Yep, Ficus Ginseng is a type grafted onto another... However in the future maybe you could use it to get some cuttings...
But to the question, it's tricky, could be overwatering or root rot... But also could be fungal..

Does the pot have dranage holes. Can you take a picture of the soil.
I find the leaves a bit pale, and what it looks like dead cell, spider mites can damage those cells. So perhaps you have them on the ficus. But its hard to tell, as there is also a lot of dust on the pictures. Could you take some beter closeup pictures of the leaves.

I agree, some better close-up photos would be really helpful. I agree that it can be a water issue as well.
