Default [Jade] Neophyte needs help for mom desperately!

It is probably too late.

First, remove the rocks. They are probably glued on and no water is
getting to the dirt and the plant.

Second, until you get new growth, don't do ANYTHING except water when
the dirt is dry. Use a chop stick and stick it in the dirt. If it
comes out dry - then water until water comes out of the bottom of the
pot. Wait 30 minutes and water again until the water comes out of the
bottom of the pot -- do not water again, until the soil is dry. Give
it lots of light. Do nothing else until you get it growing again, if
that is possible.

Then use Google and study all of the Bonsi sites you can find. It
started as a beautiful Bonsai and today it is barely alive, if it is
alive.

If it does start to put out new growth - then post again.
