Dear Bonsai Masters ,

I'm from Malaysia ,a freaking hot country most of the time .
I just got myself a small podocarpus macrophyllus ( Buddha Pine) as an experiment to see whether it able to survive , today is day 3 ,I got it from a nursery and it had repot and wire by the seller on the day I purchased it .

Sad part is my balcony is facing north (couldn't get direct sunlight ), but is bright and hot .
I have attached some photos , those came across these kind of situation pls do comment .. tks a lot

What do you think of my bonsai ? will it survive ?
Thank you.

I have seen these on the streets of Sao Paulo growing all sorts of places which probably do not get a lot of sunlight. Considering Malaysia is a 12 hour a day light, yearround more or less, I would venture it should be OK.

Thank you for your comment , and you make me see hope ... :lol:

Yes, it will survive.
If you in the long run manage to hide the reverse taper, could be an interesting bonsai after some years.

Thank you will take note on that... Btw, i jz notice some white spot, like a web or something... Can i jz spray with my organic fertilizer that comes with insect repellent effect.?

A web can be a spider which is

a - not an insect
b - An animal that catches insects

It is best to not regularly use insecticide and only spray when you have a problem, and have identified what it is. Then se something targeted for that insect.

High possibility is spider mites, any suggestions to get rid of it..

provide airflow and high atmospheric humidity.

Do you have a picture?

Here's the photo... I removed it on some of the leaves earlier by rubbing it off.. But today found another spot..

Just an update.. Its growing .... But due to not getting enough direct sunlight most of the time... Leaves became big...
