Is my bonsai salvageable?
A friend of mine looked after this bonsai (Chinese elm) for a couple months. Granted, it looked a little rough when I gave it over.. another friend drunkenly knocked it over in my car and it came out the pot and hasn't emotionally recovered since. But there were still some green leaves.
They told me it hadn't changed much, but when this heatwave hit here in the UK it all went downhill. They said they were letting it soak in water once a week, but last week all the leaves went brown and crispy. When I collected it I was in disbelief 🫠I've let it properly soak again for 10-15 mins then let it drain, and plan to do this every 2-3 days in the hopes of seeing it return to life... Do you think she is salvageable??
** The plant was sat by the South facing windowsill during the colder months, but since the hotter weather have moved it further back. So still gets sun but not directly.
