Chinese Elm Bonsai care (Ulmus)

[@steezustchrist7904]

I just picked up one last month and I’m in love with my Chinese elm love the process already .

[@caligrownvisuals6717]

I purchased a Chinese elm this week. It looks just like the one in this video including the planter. It was $140 USD. I think it’s beautiful. It’s doing well indoors as it’s starting to freeze at night. Good video

[@monke1919]

Dang, how big was it when you got it? I got a bunch of seeds for them for cheap.

[@caligrownvisuals6717]

[@macartanmcquaid22]

W've a Chinese Elm bonsai and it's wrecking our head. It's so fussy, constantly the leaves are going yellow and falling off. I'm not sure if it's being watered too much, too little or just simply the soil has issues. I repotted it and it improved for a while but now acting up again. Should it be watered every day? What soil should be used to repot the Chinese Elm? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

[@bonsaiempire]

I believe all your answers are here: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/chinese-elm :-)

[@zenobibonsai]

Only water any tree or plant when the soil has dried out... never water to a schedule.. use your finger and dig your finger into the soil to the first knuckle.. if its dry, water it... if its moist, leave it be. The answers to all your questions depend on one very important factor that is in most cases ALWAYS MISSED!!!.... Your geographical location! For example: It makes zero sense taking advice from someone who lives in florida, when you live in the UK and visa versa due to the major difference in climates. This is so obvious but its always missed!

[@WasnaST5092]

ok master bonsai 👍👍

[@jimturning5079]

i want to know what soil did you use in your chinese elm? thank you

[@bonsaiempire]

We recommend using a mixture of lava rock, akadama and pumice in equal parts.

[@bonsaiartwork3378]

Wow👍👍👍it's amazing👍👍😍😍😍nice

[@master624]

I like nice 🙏🙏🙏

[@xhbarkerx182]

How many times do you fertilise it. Weekly? Monthly? Help plz

[@bonsaiempire]

Depends on your fertilizer - but usually I'd say monthly

[@xhbarkerx182]

@@bonsaiempire ok. Thanks :) I bought it online. Didn’t say when it was last fertilised or how old it is n how many times to do it. Been doing mad research n homework on it whilst looking after it Cus it’s for my bf for his bday. The leaves are going yellow. A few too. The soils still wet/ damp ish. It’s on a window sill next to an open window. Spraying water on leaves. I just don’t wanna kill it before giving it to him n not sure what’s wrong with it :/ first time having one n don’t want it to die. The leaves don’t look dehydrated or anything. It’s an indoor Chinese elm

[@phuchuynh8053]

the video is so good

[@victorluismendoza8299]

Can you make a video like this for serrisa foetida? Thankyou!

[@Mannavegr]

When you say keep it safe in winter you mean bring it inside? Thanks!

[@bonsaiempire]

That depends mostly on your local climate - if temperatures drop below freezing it will need some protection when kept outdoors.

[@Mannavegr]

@@bonsaiempire thank you! I live in sweden so very cold. With protection you mean moving the plants to maby a garage or similar? Or protect it outside? 🙏

[@bonsaiempire]

Both options are possible - garage would be safest for Swedish winters perhaps :-) Here is some more detailed info: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/advanced/overwintering

[@kevinmitchell4960]

Being summer time here in the uk is it ok to water every 3 days?

[@bonsaiempire]

Kevin, that depends on many things (substrate, season, wind, rain, etc). You need to monitor your tree and not water on a schedule.

[@robertodiazjr7666]

How does your Chinese elms still have leaves It's Winter?

[@ItsJamesMate]

Mine still has quite a few. Might be because it's on my window ledge above the radiator though

[@bonsaiempire]

That depends on where you keep it - indoors (keeps leaves) or outdoors (drops leaves and starts growing again in early spring)

I have some chines elm my boss, its nice trees👍👍

[@flongs3993]

Hey, great video - I just got a chinese elm by myself :) But it seems like some roots are already coming out on top, so i was wondering if I should repot it now or if I should wait until next spring?

[@bonsaiempire]

In the early spring - never in summer!

Is the chinese elm and cork chinese elm the same?

What would happen if you stripped the bark off the branches?

Why would you do that?

[@avaa22]

Hey there! My Chinese elm is basically dying at the moment. He sat in a box for three days during the hottest days in the year (last year). Then I put him outside and left him out there while it poored. He was in shock then started to grow new shoots and was doing good. Then I left for a week and someone else watered him and I came back and his leaves where dry while they where a pale green and sad :( then they turned crusty and fell off ( I pulled them off) AND his base of the trunk is wrinkled I don't know what it is!! 😭Please someone help me!! ❤️

[@bjornlennartson]

As most of the trees shown on this channel, they use "readymade" imported trees. The same chinese elm shown here , is the same as they have for sale online here in Norway..

[@bonsaiempire]

Hi Cato! That is right, in our tutorial videos we use the trees most commonly used by bonsai enthusiasts (these are posted in our Beginners Techniques section). We have plenty more advanced videos in our "Advanced techniques" section!

[@CLINTSTER77COX]

Is this the same as lacebark and cork bark elms ?

[@bonsaiempire]

Ah no - it is quite different. You can look up most of the species guides here: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species

[@0101-s7v]

Some deciduous trees, like the Dawn Redwood, need to be kept outdoors because, if they don't experience a cold season and go dormant, they will die. I learned the hard way.

[@bonsaiempire]

I'd change 'some' to 'most, if not all' :-) Only a few tropical trees can do well indoors.

[@0101-s7v]

@@bonsaiempire Thanks for your reply. Yet, I see article after article stating how these trees can do just fine indoors, all year-round, and very few saying they need to be outdoors. Now I don't know whether or not I should try again with another "indoor Redwood."

[@bonsaiempire]

Indoor redwood - that is not a good choice. Indoors I'd stick to Ficus, Carmona, Jade, perhaps Schefflera and otherwise an Ulmus. That's pretty much it. But try it out and see for yourself of course!

[@thetruthchannel7073]

Why is your soil not Akadama, pumice, and lava rock ..I don't understand because there is lots of videos saying that these is the type of soil mix you need..... but saying that I keep seen bonsais in compost soil mixes so confusing

[@bonsaiempire]

These trees would definitely be put in proper soil on the next repotting - using akadama, pumice and lava rock in equal parts.

Kind of like a catlin elm.

[@motherlandbot6837]

Caitlin Elm is a dwarf, very slow growing selection of the Chinese Elm that originated in La Canada, California, USA. It has darker green leaves under any given set of growing conditions than most Chinese Elm selections. The leaves also have heavier substance (thicker) relative to their size. There is a good deal of misidentification of Chinese Elm cultivars in photos on the internet, and some of the "Caitlin Elms'' shown are the even tinier leaved and more dwarf Hokkaido Elm, which also has lighter and brighter green leaves.
