putting in water for 10 minutes is not the way to water, unless it was just the first time when very dry. use a can with a rose, yes it must be outside, it looks ok in the picture, a few leaves falling is not a problem

I put it in water because it looks like a completely different plant today! I'd researched and found out it had likely dried up. I've got rid of the crispy leaves, and a lot of the smaller branches as they were very brittle. It now looks like this! Some of the leaves still fine but some still crispy

I will not recover overnight, it will need a week or two to show a difference, as long as it is in the sun and kept watered it should be fine

That's great - thanks very much for your useful advice! My garden is south facing - very bright sun through most of the day. I'm limited to where to put it - I have a dog and anywhere low he will get to it! I do have a table - can I leave it on there? I've got a parasol if it needs shade?

Sorry for the many daft questions - I've likely made many mistakes already but I'm keen to learn and help this guy get better! There's just so much info online, lots of it contradicting, and it's quite overwhelming!

Yes there is a lot of info out there. What might help is to focus first on the horticultural side of it all. Your tree just needs to become healthy now, so it's just water and sunlight, everything else ( bonsai--ish) comes afterwards ( which in your case will take a year if all goes well for the tree to recover completely).

So much info. Yes definitely, I won't be even thinking about all the other stuff until it is looking healthy - that's of course the priority! Definitely a steel learning curve to this - will be keeping an eye on this forum and doing lots of research to hopefully learn how to keep them alive successfully! Thanks very much for your help I know it must be frustrating answering these questions
