i think messages without proper punctuation are hard to read it may be dead or it may not be dead but in our experience mostly they are dead but i cannot tell as you did not include a photo so i cannot see the status you should not soak them did you get guidelines what species did they say it is supermarkets don't sell bonsai but mallsai

Sorry I meant I soak for 5 minutes

Try to use proper punctuation as it will make people want to read and answer your question.
Soaking the roots may be the cause of the problem as it promotes root rot. I'm not sure who told you to prune or why you did it, but that probably won't have helped.

Auk, please never do that again

Sorry, could not resist :blush:

Dippy, can we get a picture please? It's really not possible to asses the tree without getting the right information.

Thank-you for your reply do you know what tree I have? And if you think it maybe dead? Sorry this predicted text is a bugger!!

Yes I'm trying to attach photo but not sure if I'm doing it right.

Didn't work. Check the message you get and take the appropriate action. Probably the image is too big.

Does this work
