Rescued this guy from the Walmart clearance shelf but idk what it is. I’ve never had a bonsai before (always wanted one though), but I figured for $7 it couldn’t hurt to try and bring this one back so, what do we think this is? And how do I make it full of life again? Thanks!
The leaf shape looks like a Chinese elm

And ideally come spring it'll fill out. They are deciduous, so naturally loose leaves fall/winter. They do weird things if kept inside where they can't get that cold and dormancy
