Found this old bonsai that my brother killed, any advice on how and if it’s possible to revive it? Will try anything!

Looks like elm? Try to scratch at the trunk. If it’s green under, it’s alive and you can save it. Put it outside where it can get natural sun. If it’s not green and branches break easily when you bend it, it’s dead.

If you suspect that its root system is alive, then gently exhale over those leaves every so often (just whenever you pass by the plant.) Also try talking to the plant, gently touch, tap, or stroke any branch sections that seem alive, and try playing music (with a strong beat that'll make vibrations) near the plant. Reduce or even stop watering (it can't photosynthesize, so it won't use much water for now.) Give it 3+ weeks and watch for signs of new growth (that typically happens low on the plant after extreme stress.) If you get new growth, it'll be extremely delicate, so do not touch any new live sections
いいね 1件You can lightly mist it every so often to help keep that moss at the bottom alive. That root near the moss looks like it's your most likely live section
