Hello guys!
My name is Angelica and I am 19. I would like some input on my bonsai tree that appears to be dead or in the dying process. I bought this tree in the summer but I cant remember the name of it. I do know that four times a year, white flowers grow on the tree. I believe it is called the Fukien bonsai. I took this tree to college with me. The months leading up to December were great for my tree. It was growing tremendously and I even got to see the white flowers grow on my tree. This all went down hill when I had to go back home for the month long winter break and I couldn't bring the tree with me. I asked my roommate to water the plant as I would usually, and also left it next to a window so that it could receive direct sunlight when the opportunity arose. Unfortunately, it got really cold here in Kansas, where I go to school. It was snowing a lot and the temperature outside dropped immensely while I was gone. I believe that the cold weather got to my plant, because it spent most of its time next to a window. When I got back to school, my tree was no longer green, the leaves were brown, hard, and drooping. I also believe that the trunk shrank a little bit in the process. The soil/moss of the plant remained moist though, so I don't think under watering was the problem. I would love to get some opinions from you guys. If I could revive my tree that would be great. But, at this point I think it may be too late for my tree. Thank you guys for your help!

Hmm, I have never heard of any tree that flowers 4 times a year. Do you have any Photo from when it was healthy?

Yet another dead plant.
Indeed this was a Fukien tea.
Notice that real bonsai do not come with stones with texts and dead moss.

Kind of a weird picture, but this is what it looked like when I bought it!

Doesn't make me change my mind.
Second picture confirms it was a Fukien tea / Carmona Microphylla

The soil may seem moist but I bet that at some time it was not watered.
