So I noticed today that the tips on some of the leaves are yellowing. It’s been quite hot in the past few days but I have been watering it every day or two when the soil starts to dry out a little. What should I do?

It is difficult to say with this picture. it seems none of the new sprouts are browning... is that true? if that is the case it could be the dryness. it could also be too much sun. or compacted soil. What kind of soil is the tree in? and when did you last repot it?

I last repotted the tree in March in soil I bought from Brussels bonsai.

have you been using fertilizer? and how much? that could also be a cause.

I have been using an organic fertilizer as per the instructions, once a month.

The new shoots are light greenish. Right now the tree seems to be doing ok but still a little bit of yellowness on most of the old shoots.

Next autumn needles will fall off anyway.
Those tips proberly died on a day with it was thirsty. or there where conditions like wind and hut temprature, or forgot/watered to late.
