Recently my Hinoki Cypress bonsai has been getting brown brittle tips on the end of its leaves and I don’t know how I can fix this and what is causing this.

I’ll give some history.

I bought the hinoki cypress 4 months ago from a bonsai nursery and it hadn’t had anything done to it (pruning, styling, etc). I repotted the bonsai into a new pot and gave it some new soil which I had also bought from a nursery that consisted of a mix of bark, peat, kyodama and akadama.

I originally kept my bonsai inside (for 3 months) and would water it by spraying it. It had new growth but I began to read that it was detrimental to have it inside so I moved the bonsai outside.

The brown tips began since moving it outside and since I pruned the leaves by pinching and twisting. I live in the UK where it rains continually and I am wondering what may have cause the leaves to brown in places. All I can imagine is that it may be overwatering due to the amount of rain it gets or something that may have been cause by pruning.

I have attached a couple photos. Thank you in advanced for any advice I can get and I hope I can find out how to make my bonsai happy

This is my first post on the forum, I hope I’ve done it right.

Pinching causes the tips to brown, the growth should be pruned with scissors. I don't know where you are but it does not rain constantly in England. As long as the soil is good then it will not be overwatered. You will just have to wait for the plant to grow and the brown will go.
