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.

Better options for the price
Color: Black Watch-G5010, Color: Black Watch-G5010
While having a striking appearance, the band has many rough edges and pulls your arm hairs. It is a good size and looks good at the surface level, but it is very light almost to the point that it feels cheap or not durable. This makes the price feel unnecessary, especially when compared to other more substantial or quality feeling options at this price point and below. If you just need a watch, it’ll do but I felt that it fell short in places, especially the band.

Beautiful Watch, and easy to set up.
Color: 5535-ZP-blue
Looks classy, very easy to set the time, day of the week, and date. It is a class cover so it can break if dropped (my kids broke my first one), but it's inexpensive so it wasn't a huge deal. It's easy to read. Battery hasn't died for months. It's easy to put on and the size works for me.

Most important review for this watch and company.
Color: 5566-ZP-blue face, Color: 5566-ZP-blue face
I bought two and they both broke. Customer service has ignored my e-mail. What more do you need to know about a company? I personally wrote them through their own website, so they could keep Amazon out of it. It makes me angry that they won't even reply to my e-mail. I was nice. Both watches broke, neither one if actually water proof. The band is exceptionally thin and it WILL break on you once it arrives. It's so poor, that my body moisture is what got into the face of the watch. What the heck? I've had better 9 dollar watches from Walmart. Zero out of zero for the COMPANY who doesn't care about their customers, and zero out of ten for watch quality. Useless. I wasted 60-80 bucks on two of these! BOTH BROKE! and in more than one way!!!!! Terribly marked up (this is less than a 10 dollar Walmart watch - quality is LOWER than the lowest 3 dollar watches off Temu, Shien, Walmart), customer service is non-existent, and the band WILL BREAK on you. It's worthless. Take your money somewhere else. Attached pictures show the moisture leak from my sweat, but in real life, it's actually much worse. Worthless, not usable. Two of them folks. TWO!
