Is this the broom style that you posted a while back? I hope it recovers, it had great potential. Baby it for a while, reduce watering slightly and done think about fertilizing. B1 'could' help. Idont personally believe in super thrive but others would recomment it.
Dont take too much off it, if you take live parts out it will weaken the plant further and probably kill it. |

Others might disagree, but I would recommend removing an dead wood that can be positively identified as far back to the point where you find green cambium. The object is to get some dormant buds to pop, but , in any case they aren't going to pop on dead wood.
My first one of thes I completely defoliated after potting up. It seemingly took forever for it to come back, and even then it had some dead branches. But come back it did and now growth popped out from around at joints of dead branches and the trunk. One exception, I would leave some stub for the main branches off the trunk evenif they appear ded all the way back. Ther may be some dormant buds at the joint that you wouldn't want to injure.

It is possible that too much root mass was removed, and it's possible that it had been done not that long ago as well, this is one reason to buy from reputable dealers of Bonsai, they will usually know when the work had been done.
I would hold off on any further work until you know it good and healthy, or ready for the wood pile. If it's still alive it doesn't need anymore stress.
