Ficus roots trying to escape

[Vasyl]

Shortly after I brought this ficus indoors it started pushing the roots out of soil. What's the cause? Too much/little water maybe?

It is probably way too healthy! What are your plans for this tree?

It is a fusuion of three branches. The plan is to airlayer in May-Jun and, maybe, add a branch or two to the trunk

Tropics here - with rain / high humidity they tend to surface
root.
We just cut off what is not needed / wanted.
Good Day

* soil mix is usually - 90 % inorganic non porous and
10 % aged compost.
We have to control at times rampant trunk expansion.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it is safe to cut them off
