Dear 名媛直播 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.

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

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.
