Dying Bonsai Help
13 Answers
Is anyone knowledgeable about Bonsai trees? Bottom line is I was given one as a present by a work colleague on the first day of my 2 week holiday so it just sat on my desk unwatered. I have come back and every leaf is dry and crisp and beyond redemption but is the whole thing dead do you think? I can't even tell what it was except a broad leaved type.

We were given a bonsai some years ago and the instructions said to immerse the post to the top of the soil once a week and to leave in the water for 10 minutes. This we have done and it's still going strong, kept indoors in a well lit area. You could try the same, if it's already a gonner you can't do any harm.
Place the tree in a shallow dish of rain water in the open air if possible and out of direct sun light.
allow it to re-hydrate but don't let it soak for too long, just until the surface becomes moist, the allow it to drain.
It sounds like you have a good chance of reviving it. I have a few trees outside and I know that they are placed out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, they will do much better.
