Default [IBC] Dried out Bonsai


Any advice for how I can help my plant? Is it dead? Can it be

saved?


I'm sorry, but I suspect it is beyond help. Bonsai cannot be
ignored for that long. They need to be checked on every day.
They may not need watering, or anything else done to or for them
every day, but they MUST be checked.

Once a juniper feels "crispy," there's little hope. They will
stay green for a good long time, but that crispy feel to the
needles is the tipoff.

But you can hope if you want, and keep on tending it until
there's no doubt, but do NOT water it until the soil feels a bit
dry. Sick trees don't use much water, and too much water is just
as fatal as too little.

Sorry.
