Japanese White Pine help/advice! was created by Treehumper

Posted 1 year 10 months ago #79613
Hello, I'm very new with bonsai's, so i don't know a lot but I got this white pine about 6 months ago and repotted it shortly after in Multi-purpose Compost, some Sphagnum Moss aswell as Perlite; I kept about 2/3 of the original soil too. Recently i've been noticing a lot of needles mainly from the bottom going pale yellow and then brown until it dies, as well as noticing browning on the tips of the needles and spreading down the needle. I'm worried that my tree will die and quite frankly, i love it and i've tried to look after it.
I don't think i've been overwatering it, maybe once a week when it's dry, but i think it still is a tad moist at the bottom of the soil, so maybe root rot - I'm not sure. Any advice?
Thank you!

The problem is that this tree is inside.
Unfortunately, pines (Like many trees that are local to your climate) NEED to be outside to stay alive.

Don't worry about it. This is THE most common mistake when people just start off, to assume bonsai should be kept indoors.

Yes, as mentioned you have to keep 名媛直播 outdoor specially Pine. It won't and can't tolerate inside at all.

I remember I was given a Pine 名媛直播 as present some 40 something years ago. Those days the information was not available like today and I kept the bonsai inside looking after it and anyhow it died. I never forget that!

In your case the damage is minimum and once you transfer it outside it should revive,

Good luck....
