Hi, i received a bonsai podocarpus last week and was told to fill a half liter waterbottle 75 % and keep watering it for 5 days. every 5 days repeat. Is this correct? I have found some brown tips on my tree that i'm currently cutting off to see if it's from the previous owner or if i'm watering it too much.
As you can see in the image some of the leaves are brown at the tip.
also, i use this type of pot where i refill the water from the bottom. i was told to refill it till it's almost spilling whenever i don't see it full.
please help me, this is a beautiful bonsai and i would hate to see it whither away on my watch.
Also, i keep it near the window, but my apartment does not receive so much light.
thank you in advance
