    Creating Your Bonsai - Chinese Elm

    Indigenous to East Asians, the Chinese Elm is the bonsai specie that grows to a length of about 18 meters. It is tall and noted particularly for its spreading bark and habit that are stippled with different colors, including cream, dark gray and reddish brown. The great thing to know about this specie is that it works best for both indoor and outdoor application. According to some reviews, it stays semi-evergreen in color when kept indoors, and turns to become deciduous if kept outdoors.

    The Chinese elm has long been noted as a good species to take care for those who are just starting on the trend of tray planting. I bet all of these are due to the fact that the Chinese elms grow predictably. They are also quite forgiving especially when pruned, and being a slow-growing species, it’s no wonder that more and more people are now taking it for bonsai purposes.

    To maintain the good health of your Chinese elm, you need to protect the trees from harsh weather, including the cold and harsh wind. Aside from that, you need to prune the trees right after its growth period while leaving at least one or a couple of nodes near the main branch or trunk for it to grow in the right style you want. You can further keep your bonsai lively by feeding it with moderate amount of water all year round. Just make sure to keep the plants moist all day and night. Finally, you need to repot the tree early in the spring.
