How to Take Care of Podocarpus Bonsai
The podocarpus bonsai is an upright, dense evergreen tree with pointed dark green and leathery leaves. It is one of the most preferred and popular variety among bonsai lovers and amateurs. The leaves of this plants is an exception, they are arranged on stiff and symmetrical branches that works as a screen, hedge or framing tree, making a shape of pyramidal to oval outline.
The growth of this tree varies with climate, the trunk and the bark formation takes quite a few years. The habit of compact branching and the dark green foliage makes this tree very dense in full sun. Podocarpus bonsai grows slow indoors but if planted in sunny areas they have faster growth rate.
Types of Podocarpus bonsai
Some species of podocarpus that can be used as bonsai are Podocarpus alpinus, Podocarpus nivalis, Podocarpus macrophylla, Podocarpus nagi and Podocarpus macrophylla Maki.
Ways to take care of Podocarpus bonsai
If you are willing to go for podocarpus bonsai, then you must know how to take proper care of this kind of bonsai so that its growth and health is maintained. The regular lighting just like any other bonsai is important. Podocarpus prefers direct sunlight. However, if exposed to extreme sun-intense areas, this bonsai can suffer leaf-burn; therefore shade should be provided to the plant during the hottest part of the day. You need to keep in mind that too little sunlight might result in large and elongated needles.
Watering - It is an essential part for the growth of podocarpus bonsai. This variety prefers moist soil, but there should be provision of adequate drainage. Misting everyday will prove good for the indoor plants. Gray needles are a sign of over watering.
Temperature - This bonsai variety can withstand light frost, and it can be grown indoors in well-lit spots. This bonsai variety prefers winter temperatures ranging from 61 to 68 F, keeping in above 55 F will give best results.
Roots - Since podocarpus roots easily grow, you can place the softwood cuttings in water till the roots are formed and then transplant it into bonsai soil. Podocarpus bonsais are often harmed by root rot on soils and mealy bugs and sooty molds.
Cutting - Young podocarpus has the tendency to grow up straight, which can be avoided by cutting them back hard, resulting in aggressive back budding. You can pinch back new growth and remove the oversized needles.
Fertilizers - Fish emulsion and fertilizer are good for the podocarpus bonsai. You can also use liquid bonsai fertilizer, which must be applied every two weeks and six weeks in summer and winter months respectively. Podocarpus has a likeness for acid soil and also needs additional iron and magnesium.
Thus, if you like bonsai growing, podocarpus is a good choice.

Bonsai has been a product of creativity, patience and care to the living plant. There are a lot of plant species that you can use as a bonsai. But there are two main types of bonsai which have specific growth requirements that would help you to become successful in bonsai cultivation. There are also a wide range of species in each bonsai type that would match up your taste and style.
Types of Bonsai
1) Indoor bonsai Type- is a type of bonsai that can live in indoor conditions. Species from tropical and subtropical plants can be good indoor bonsai trees. Indoor bonsai trees can be wonderful display in your home and office. They can stay alive in an indoor environment as long as they are properly maintained, and they are given with enough nutrients in order to live and blossom for a long time.
Growth Requirements
Like any other plant, indoor bonsai needs sufficient amounts of sunlight to produce their own food. You can place it near the window where adequate sunlight can reach the bonsai tree. Another important thing you should do is to water your bonsai tree in a scheduled basis according to its requirement. You should never allow it to get dry. And do not allow it to get soaked as this can cause root rot. It is also important to apply a fertilizer with good quality. The fertilizer must be water-soluble and make sure that it has enough nutrients. You can give the fertilizer every week during the summer season and every four weeks during the winter.

Bonsai Tree - Bonsai Tree Guide
To jumpstart your bonsai horticultural hobby, you first need to select the right kind of bonsai tree that will yield to clipping, pruning and training of branches and roots and wiring to give rise to the shape and design of a plant species you had envisaged.
While selecting a bonsai tree you have to keep in mind various factors like climate, temperature, your lifestyle, care and maintenance, your choice and preference, congruity with the décor in your home etc.
There are indoor bonsai trees and out door bonsai trees. For the former category choices are a bit limited. If you lead a busy lifestyle and are strapped for time and you feel that you won't be able to devote much time or labor behind the care and maintenance of your bonsai, you should opt for low maintenance and hassle free bonsai tree that is hardy and requires minimal care.
Some people have a fascination for exotic bonsai tree species sourced from far off lands, which not only require optimum care, but also find it difficult to adapt to the foreign climate. Adaptability is a factor that you should always keep in mind while selecting a bonsai tree, because surely you don't want your bonsai species to perish after spending close to a fortune on its transit and care.
For e.g. Tropical trees will find it difficult to adapt in a Canadian or Norwegian or Russian winter. Most horticultural experts will recommend indigenous native plants which don't require acclimatization, adapt easily to surroundings, are hassle free and require little care. They are ideal for busy executives on the move.
What I am trying to hammer at is - don't just fall for fancy looks or the exotic appeal. It is a common mistake which costs people dear. Following is a list of bonsai tree that may be ideal for you. Choose whichever one you like.
