Podocarpus x ‘Red Tip’

Podocarpus x ‘Red Tip’ is a distinctive evergreen that captivates with its yew-like foliage. In late summer through winter, its short, thin leaves develop a vibrant deep red flush, while the rest of the year they showcase a rich, deep-green hue that gracefully spirals along the stems.

With its spreading, compact habit, ‘Red Tip’ is perfectly suited for smaller, warmer, and drier landscapes, offering year-round color and dynamic seasonal interest. Its striking appearance and low-maintenance nature make it an eye-catching choice for container gardens, rock gardens, or as a standout accent in any mixed border.

Many perennials and bonsai plants take on a 'winter look' that's different from their summer appearance. The colder temperatures and shorter days trigger seasonal changes, which are actually part of their natural cycle. Some plants need this winter break to bloom and perform their best when the growing season returns. While they might look semi-dormant until early spring, these cosmetic changes don’t impact their health at all.

Bonsai Basic Care: Hard

Watering: Bonsais require careful watering. The frequency depends on the species and the climate, but generally, the soil should be kept slightly moist. Check the soil daily, and water thoroughly when the top layer feels dry.

Light: Most bonsai trees prefer bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct sunlight early in the morning or late in the afternoon is beneficial, but a direct midday sun can be harmful, especially in hotter climates.

Soil/Drainage: To prevent water retention and root rot, use a well-draining bonsai-specific soil mix.

Temperature/Humidity: Depending on the species, bonsai trees can be kept indoors or outdoors. Indoor bonsais generally prefer temperatures between 60-75°F and benefit from increased humidity, which can be achieved through daily misting or humidity trays.

Feeding: Fertilize your bonsai regularly during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every few weeks or as recommended for the specific type of tree.

Pruning/Training: Pruning is essential to maintaining the shape and health of a bonsai. Regular pruning of the roots and canopy is necessary. Training with wires can also shape branches and direct growth.

Repotting: Most bonsai trees require repotting every 2-5 years to prevent root crowding and replenish nutrients in the soil. This is best done in the spring.

General Tips: Regularly inspect for pests and diseases. Bonsai trees are susceptible to insect infestations and fungal infections, which should be treated promptly to keep the tree healthy.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.

Very nice!
I purchased this clutch purse for date nights with my husband. I think it is very chic. I was surprised by the room it had. It will hold my cell phone, lipstick and my slim wallet. I may order another one.

Great Bag
Color: Obsidian Black
This is by far one of the best handbags/purses I have bought off Amazon. it is practical, elegant, fun and bonus that you can easily have the shoulder strap attached to the bag if you want to use it, or you can easily put it inside and still have room for a wallet and phone. Sometime you want a strap, sometimes you don't and something you just don't know.....with this purse, you can have it anyway, anytime. Thanks Midwest Money Saving Mommas for recommending this cute purse. Bring on girls weekend!

Fits everything!
Color: Gilded Gold, Color: Gilded Gold
Beautiful clutch, good size. It fit my phone, make up, keys without a problem. It did smell very bad in the inside though. I didn’t realize it before hand since I opened it on my way to my event. Every time I’d open it and the smell could linger.
