# Help🥲 this is my moms bonsai tree and we don’t know what to do/whats…

Help🥲 this is my moms bonsai tree and we don’t know what to do/whats wrong with it. A couple weeks ago we got back from being out of town and it looked like this, since then we’ve refreshed the soil, watered it, put down fresh moss and then left it alone. Any thoughts? It’s in a northeast facing window and gets pretty bright indirect light for the majority of the day.

You’ve done all you can to revive it from its dehydrated state. Cut a branch to see if there is life inside. Keep watering and fertilizer regularly if you determine the branches and roots are not dead. It might recover with new growth if it’s not completely dead. Good luck.🍀🪴

Do you know what kind of tree is it? (Bonsai isn’t a type of plant but a way of growing). If you don’t, can you snap a photo of the healthiest leaves in hopes in can be identified.
