Can we save this bonsai???

Hello there, my father received a bonsai tree for christmas. the tree's been beautiful all these months, even weathering the ever changing New york temperatures. lately it has been humid and there's little relief-- the tree is turning brown and we don't know what to do; or if we can save it. my father's taken such great care of the tree and we'd like be able t do somthing for it...thank you

If it is not already dead, try misting it several times a day and test the soil to be sure that it needs watering. Perhaps some organic fertilizer might help as well.

you can tell if its dead by using your fingernail. lightly scratch the bark of the tree, and if the layer underneath is green, its alive.
