I like the article The Chinese elm is medium in size and 90 cm in height; in the summer it assumes a green colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown.

The Chinese elm can bear minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero; in general during the Spring it would be grown outdoors without any problems, but if the harsh temperatures should go down it is advised to cover it with non-woven fabric. Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.Let’s remember that bonsai usually are grown in quite contained containers; this is why we suggest moving the vases in a slightly shaded place during the hottest weeks of the summer. Irrigation Chinese elm
Watering takes place only when the soil has been dry for days, usually every 10-11 days can be enough; if the climate is particularly hot we can slightly intensify the irrigations, using 2-3 glasses of water . Let’s frequently check the soil of our bonsai, to avoid it from remaining dry for long periods of time. Adversity Chinese elm
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate. Substrate Chinese elm
