Hi! I live in Singapore and I’ve just started my bonsai journey yesterday. I purchased a mini sekka hinoki in hope that it’s more manageable than regular sized bonsai.

This bonsai was purchased yesterday, and upon studying it at home, I noticed that the lower part of the leaves are brown (see circled pictures). Are these normal, or do they indicate that these part of the leaves have dried up and that it’s unhealthy? I thought these were branches at first so I did not ask or pay further notice to it at the store.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I’m totally new to this!

Thank you in advance.

This doesn't look like regular Sekka Hinoki to me.
The brown part is probably foliage turning into wood and becoming a branch.
