Bonsai not watered - Is it dead? How to save a sick tree in hot weather

Описание: Its super-hot and a bonsai tree has not been watered for days. Is it dead? We have a look at a badly dehydrated bonsai and find out how to save a sick tree in hot weather.

In this video, we look at a Chinese Elm bonsai tree which has not been watered for a few days, examining the dried out leaves and dry branches. We show you how to find out if it is still alive and if so, how you can help to help it to recover.

What works for one tree will not work for another but we show you how to give it the best possible chance of recovering by talking about how much water to give it, where to put it, if you need to feed it and if you need to repot it.

The video was filmed at our bonsai nursery in Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK, during a boiling day during a heatwave.
