Hello,
I got this Buddhist Pine about 4 months ago. For the first 2 months it looked great, then it slowly started looking really dry.
At first it was near an east facing window, then (about a month ago) I moved it to a west facing window (we don't have any south facing windows unfortunately).

I hoped that the new location would help but it looks like it's doing even worse now. I water it only when the first 1-2 inches are dry and I mist it every 2-3 days.

I also noticed those little green dots on the ground and I'm really not sure what they could be.

Location wise I'm near Cambridge, UK. At the moment we're being hit by a heatwave so its' around 27-28C but it's supposed to go back to 19-20C this weekend.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello and welcome
I’m afraid that’s a dead tree.
The reason that it died is because it’s inside. There is no such thing as an inside tree. Misting is a horticultural myth, it doesn’t do anything at all ( humidity doesn’t stay magically around your tree , the only thing you do is increase the humidity in your room by 0,000001 %)

Hey, thank you so much for your reply.
It's really a shame, I bought this bonsai from a shop that had an outdoor area and an indoor area.
They said all the trees in the indoor area were perfect for indoors.
Now I know they were lying..

Well, indoor means : a (sub) tropical tree will not survive our winters so it has to be protected from temps below 10/5/0 by placing it in a frostfree room. That does not mean keep it in your living room all the time, it will die there. Outside untill the plants natural climate dictates otherwise, that’s the only way to keep a plant healthy. Native, local trees stay outside all year round.

I see, it makes so much sense now not sure why I didn't think of it before.
Also not sure if I should get another one then, we had a whole month of around 0C° this year and the only place where it could stay far from indoor heating would be the shed which is always dark. I guess my best shot would be finding a local tree and keep it outside.

Are we talking about Podocarpus macrophyllus? It is hardy in usda zone 8-11. In pot a general rule is to add one zone. So it should be ok to keep it outside year round if temp dont fall below -7c. If your winter temperature is around 0 it should be a good species for you to grow outside.

I dont have any experience with this species myself. But this is how I evaluate if a species is good for me to try.

A very good guide about a particular tree is to find a bonsai group in your area and talk to them, particularly those who have the oldest trees, and those who have your tree in particular.

They can tell you what winter care works in your area, what summer care works, etc. Most of us on the forum here are really saying what works for us. Everywhere I go the climate is different from here, so tree care would be different.
