The Buddhist Pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus) bonsai features dense, dark green, needle-like foliage. As an evergreen, it retains its leaves year-round and can occasionally produce berry-like fruits in shades of blue or green.
This particular tree stands approximately 39cm tall and is elegantly presented in a red ceramic bonsai pot measuring 18cm depth and 21cm width. Its compact size and graceful shape make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or shelves adding a calming, natural aesthetic to any space.

Please Note: Measurements given are approximate. Depending on the season, the appearance of the tree may vary. The tree that you receive may differ in size and shape to the photo if it has grown or been pruned since.
The Buddhist pine can be kept all year round indoors, but its growth and health would benefit from the extra sunlight and airflow that the summer months bring. Make sure you bring it indoors at night. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate full sun. If the needles of your tree become too elongated, take this as a sign that your pine is not receiving enough light and consider moving it to a brighter place.
Watering
No strict schedule, watering needs vary based on climate, soil, airflow, and pot size.
We recommend using the submersion method, which we’ve detailed on our Best Way to Water a Bonsai Tree blog post.
Feeding
Feed weekly or fortnightly from March to October with Chrysal Liquid Bonsai Feed (2 ml per litre of water). Add directly to the water during submersion.
Regular pruning keeps your bonsai healthy, compact, and aesthetically pleasing. Growing season (March–September). Trim and pinch back new growth, which can be identified by its lighter green colour, throughout the year and whenever needed. Once the new growth is around 10cm, trim it back, leaving some new foliage.
Wiring is best done during late autumn, when the tree’s growth naturally slows. Use a wire that is approximately the same thickness as the branch. This helps gently shape and refine your bonsai’s structure over time.
