Hi everyone, I have my bonsai almost 2 years. Done well for first year and a bit but since autumn it has looked poor. Some white mold maybe through the soil.
Do I need to report it or how can I help new growth.
Thanks

You have overwatered it.

This plant does need to be repotted,but I'm not sure if it can be saved.

Hi and welcome.

WHich woud you like first? The bad news? Or the good news?

Lets start with the bad news. THe tree is in a bad state (But I think you knew that). THe good news.. I see young leaves, so there is a definite will to live in the plant.

There is lots of things that can make your plant look like this but all come down to care that is not suited to the plant. As Auk indicated, watering issues is typically the rootcause of the problem: Causing the roots to partially die off.

Repotting could help. I would however leave the roots alone as much as possible. Get a somewhat larger pot. Take it out of the current pot. Lightly remove the soil form the top untill you are clearly in areas with roots. Scratch the outside of the rootball. Then plant it in the larger container with a good quality potting soil. Let is recover and become a green ball of leaves before doing anything besides watering.

Thanks for the quick response. In the 1st picture the branch to the left is long and bare, should I leave it and hope growth comes back to it or is there any positives to cutting it off?

Leave everything else as is.
The less you do, the smaller the stress on the plant will be, resulting in higher chances to survive.
