benjamina lost all leaves


Question
well, as you could guess from the subject my benjamina got pests and has lost ALL its leaves. I sprayed it twice with a liquid pest killer I got from a gardener (cant remember the name) but seems like it was too late. Now, without any leaves any chance I could do anything to get it to grow new leaves again or the plant is gone?

Answer
Fari,

If there are no green sprouts or buds and it has had none for more than a week or 2 it is probably too late. The only thing you can prosibbly do is put it all in a large clear plastic bag to increase the humidity around the plant and if it has any dormant sprouts the increased humidity would help them to pop open. You would need to open the bag every t days for 30 seconds to exchange the air. Otherwise, don't give up, get a new benjamina and try again. Good luck.
