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 has a shrub- like development. Fertilize Chinese elm
During the spring months let’s fertilize our bonsai plants using a specific fertilizer every 20-25 days; during this period of the year the fertilizer must be rich in nitrogen and potassium, to favour the development of new vegetation. Light Chinese elm
We suggest growing the The Chinese elm in the garden; these are very rustic plants. We suggest to position the The Chinese elm in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.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. Water Chinese elm
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 10-11 days . Let’s frequently check the soil of our bonsai, to avoid it from remaining dry for long periods of time. Pests 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. Mold Chinese elm
These plants need a substratum with an excellent drainage.
