I have been watering it once a day everyday and recently felt the soil was too moist and damp. When I stick my finger ill hear a squelsh. So I've reduced the watering Freq and it has resulted in the leaves browning and swirvelling up. Previously the leaves were all sticking outwards but they have all gone droopy. This is after I had to deal with worms coming out of its fertilizer pellet (twice). Earlier today I saw some white mould on the base of its trunk, there was more but I could use my finger to wipe it off.
Someone please help!

Sorry, I do not see a bonsai on that picture, only a young pine that died because it was placed inside.

Yes, the tree is dead. I am so sorry.

What you need now if you want to continue growing trees in pots is to go back to basic horticultural.

You water trees when they need it, not on a scedule. This tree looks like it is in a heavy organic soil. Water everyday in winter is not correct for this soil. If kept in the correct environment, which is outside, it proboably dont need any watering at all in winter.

You drowned your tree for a period of time, which made the roots rot.

Hi all, but the tree has been like this for around 2 years... and it was sudden, not something that took place over time. Is it really dead?

I just did a repot... there was no bad smell, no signs of rotting roots... but the soil was really damp so i changed it all out...

There is no winter as i live in Singapore where the temperature is around 30-35 all year around. The recent change i only made to my plant was relocating it as i moved and had placed it about 1m from the window.

Indeed, there are some tropical pines, too. Some tropical trees survive indoors for some time. But with tropical trees there are other things your indoors microclimate does not account for, like day-night temperature difference, humidity, etc. And, if drainage is not sufficient, any tree will die, regardless if its indoors or outdoors. This is true for many plants, not only trees.

If you live in the tropics and want to train tropical trees as bonsai, keep them outdoors.

Agree completely with Clicio.

I have constant problems with the tropicals that have to come inside, bugs, watering, dropping leaves all over the place, general health, etc. Next month they will go back outside and it will be eight months of leaves sprouting, no bugs (to speak of), etc.

Outside I water till it pours out of the drain holes. Inside that would be a mess. I doubt I will get another tropical.

Hi
The pine does look dead. Once the needles die ,that portion of the tree is dead. One time I had a similar problem after repotting, I also had maggots in the soil and believe that maggot eggs were probably in the soil initially. With just the right conditions, water, soil type and temp, the eggs hatched and began eating the roots. You can combat this when repotting by using less organic soil and more inorganic particulate. Also adding a small portion of food grade diatomaceous earth to the soil will kill the maggots as they ingest it.
