Chinese Elm bonsai care
This is a living Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor preferred for strongest growth; can adapt indoors with very bright light
- Light
- Full sun outdoors; brightest possible window indoors
- Water
- Let the topsoil dry slightly, then water thoroughly: dislikes both constant wet and prolonged drought. Middle-of-the-road, leaning slightly toward "let dry between waterings."
- USDA zones
- 4 to 9 (one of the most adaptable elms; resistant to Dutch elm disease)
- #1 cause of death
- Overwatering and root rot (especially indoors)
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Chinese Elm bonsai care guide.
