We were given a bonsai but cannot seem to help it thrive. It has lost all leaves. We keep it in sun during the day, water 1xweek when seeming dry. Help!

Not dead just yet though. These however hard to get back to live. Not sure how to proceed.

Check the roots for root rot, and if so, remove all affected parts, let it dry, treat like a cutting.

Examine the roots for signs of pests such as root mealy bug. Look for rotten roots and soft rotten areas at the base of the stem, which can be caused by soggy conditions and which stop effective water uptake. If the bottom of the stem has gone soft, remove the tree from its pot and allow it to dry off. Then assess the condition of the stem. In emergency, it is possible to salvage the plant by re-rooting the healthy part. Cut the stem well above the damaged area. Allow the cut end to dry off for a couple of weeks and then re-plant into a dry, free-draining potting mix. Water very sparingly until root formation has started.
