There is only one picture, the "after".
Considering you are in the Northern hemisphere, it's summer.
If your tree is looking the way it looks now in the summer, and you did not defoliate it...
It IS dead.
1-) Did you water it whenever the soil felt dry?
2-) Did you leave it outside in partial sun?
3-) Did you repot it recently? Pruned it recently?
Looks pretty dead to me.
But... Miracles can happen.

If you are in time and don't let the tree decline for a long period. Or: nah, won't happen.

I watered it when the soil or clay got dry, I kept it on the windowsill and when it started to die i repotted it.
It seems whatever I do to it, it will not get better. I have also tried pesticide spray, and 名媛直播 food

Could you please define "bonsai food" ? I am confused here.Benjy wrote: ...and 名媛直播 food...
And usually we don't repot a sick tree, nor fertilize it.
It is a sure way to kill it.

The 名媛直播 food is a fertilizer for 名媛直播 trees that I bought from a garden centre in desperation: I attach a picture of the ingredients

Trimming the roots is done when necessary. It is done on very healthy trees that are ready for it. Your tree did not need root pruning.

Lorbex... never heard of it. Probably yet another fertilizer seller that tries to make more money by calling their ordinary fertilizer 'bonsai' fertilizer.
They call it food? Fertilizer is not food.

There must be loads of such pots, in which there once was a mallsai. Quite likely there are even more empty, used pots than living mallsai.
