Can you help me identifying this Bonsai ?

[Passi]

Hi ...

First I must say that I'm absolutely new in the Bonsai world and I have no gardening knowledge

So, why did you get a Bonsai, ask you ?
Simply because it was offered by a family member and now I must learn something about it

I made some Google research and found this forum that seem to be very interesting and full a people with a huge knowledge of Bonsai world

I don't have a lot of questions simply because I don't know anything about these wonderful plants, so I will start with two simple questions:

1) Can you help me identifying my Bonsai ? I put some pictures here:

The Bonsai is 33cm tall (from top to ground) and leaves are 2.5cm long.

2) What are your advises for someone like me that never had a plant in his life ? I'd like to take care of it but I really don't know how

In advance thank you for all your help

Passi,

Hello and welcome. I think your tree may be a Podocarpus but I don't grow this species so some more research can't hurt. You can Google the name and compare the pictures you find against your tree. Sorry, that's the best I can do for an ID.

For basic care have a look at this:

Proper watering is the first thing to try to get a handle on, everything else can come later.

If my ID is correct I would shelter it from frosts. Once the weather warms up it will benefit from being kept outside. Perhaps someone else can offer more.

Gnome,

Thank you very much for your reply/help/advices

I already did a Google search for Podocarpus and in fact it seems that you are right, "my baby" looks alike very much the Podocarpus.
