Help me
Have this 7 years old Podocarpus for 6 months now and in the last few days it started to get very dry even though I water it every day.
Yesterday this white stuff appeared in the base.
What is this? Please help me, I think it might be sick or with some kind of bug.
Thanks in advanced.
PS: This is my first post here, so if I am doing something wrong please tell me. Cheers!

General Question New bonsai, any advice?
He's Kogi (yes, I gave him a name) and he's my new bonsai, a Chinese pepper tree... I've had 2 in the past (both ficus ginseng) but the second one was given to me sick (he had a fungus or something) and he infected the other one (which I had for 2 or 3 years) and they both died: (... I wanted to try again! Any advice? I've already pruned it a little bit but I have no idea if I should bring it again (the bro has too many leaves Lol). He also drinks a lot of water...I leave in sicily (Italy) and in general I spray demineralized water on the leaves once a day and give the water in the pot every 4 days but he drinks it all in 1 day!

Show and tell My box store bonsai save
One of my growing collection of box store bonsai saves from the discount rack. Nearly three years since I bought it. I live in FL so it reminds me of a swamp tree. I just recently repotted, but next time I will go for more of "swampy" surrounding.

Tips?
I'm new to this, have a few saplings going, a few from seed and some cutting's I've been messing around with.
I had to remove this from a garden area we just cleared. Can I do anything with this? Should I plant in a pot and let it ride until spring? Or can I put it in a ceramic and see how it goes? I'm not even sure if there's enough fine roots.
Thank you!

General Question My plant has lost a lot of leaves in a few days
It's a ficus ginseng. I know they lose leaves on a whim, but seeing the images side by side is really depressing for me and I'd like to do something to help my plant bounce back. I think I may have overfed it, what do I do if that's the case?

General Question Brazilian rain tree help
I’ve had this tree a little over two years. It was indoors, doing okay - not producing new foliage but not losing any either. Over this winter it took a turn for the worst and lost all the leaves and they didn’t return. The bark was still very green underneath so I tried to problem solve and as soon as it got warm enough it went outside. It seems to be happy now, putting out new leaves.
So first question - what do I do with the branches/top of tree that is not producing anything anymore?
Second - when it gets cold again how can I keep it happy while being indoors??
Any other advice welcome!!
I’m completely inexperienced in keeping bonsais alive… I am good with plants but these little trees not so much. I live in zone 6 - Missouri. We do our best to keep humidity up in our home during the months we have heat on but it does sometimes get dry inside.

Diagnosing Issue is my bonsai okay?
Hello! Very new to all things bonsai and sorry if this is a dumb question, but this tree means a lot to me since it was gifted to me by my friends right after my dad died. so it feels very irreplaceable to me. i’m very nervous that the leaves are shriveling. it was super thirsty the other day so i watered it, probably too much, cause now the soil is quite damp still after a couple days and the leaves still look bad. i’m scared, I can’t lose this plant. i literally call it my dad lol.

Maple samplings
Will my samplings grow more branches further down the stem. I transplanted these from 2 qtr containers into this bigger pot. I did trim them and so far I’ve only gotten leaves and branches at the very top.
I have a few more still on the grown which I plan to leave there to see how much quicker they will grow

Hello!
First time poster and just joined but I wanted to gauge people’s opinion on this thing I made. So I got a Fukien Tea Bonsai earlier this year around March. Made a full enclosure for it because I had previously been unable to grow a cactus. So keeping this thing alive became personal lmao anyways it’s mainly just to help keep the environment stable, help with watering, and monitor humidity & temp levels for easy checking. It has a moisture sensor but I haven’t set it up yet so it just chills in the back of the enclosure (is wired up tho). If I made files available (like open source it), would any of you make one for yourselves? I’ll plan on making a better/cleaner version but wanted to gauge interest or improvements before doing a V2. Please let me know what you think! Here’s some photos of my Bonsai too over the course of having it! 🙏💜

Ficus outside during vacation?
Can i leave my ficus bonsai outside during my vacation for around 2 weeks? I looked tp the weather and the temperature qill not drop below 12 degrees celsius and they only have morning sun, shielded by the wall in the afternoon. I'd like them outside seprated from the rest as they are treated for trips and i do not want to infect my other plants inside. I will connect them to my irrigation system outside so they get water.
