Chinese Elm Bonsai Care for Beginners
The Chinese Elm is a highly adaptable tree that is well-suited for bonsai cultivation. It is a great choice for beginners because it is tolerant of a wide range of conditions and is relatively easy to care for.
Light
Chinese Elm bonsai can be grown indoors or outdoors. If grown indoors, they need a bright, sunny location. If grown outdoors, they can be placed in full sun or partial shade.
Watering
Water your Chinese Elm bonsai thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. They are more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering, so it is important to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Fertilizing
Fertilize your Chinese Elm bonsai every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced bonsai fertilizer.
