Hey all! I’m new to Bonsai and just picked up 2 awesome pre-Bonsai trees from my local nursery. One of these is a Bald Cypress, which I’ve noticed has red spots developing on many of the needles on the lower branches of the tree. I’ve also noticed a white web-like substance on some of the needles, although I didn’t see anything that looked like mites (to the untrained eye at least) using a small microscope on 20x.
I’ve attached some pictures showing both concerns below. I know the Bald Cypress loses its needles in winter, but it seemed odd that the redness is appearing as spots vs an overall color change. I read a little bit about twig blight and other things that can affect the Bald Cypress, but wanted to get thoughts from you all on what this might be. Thanks!
