Caring for Your Indoor Character Bonsai Tree – Perfect for Beginners

Lighting: Position your Chinese Elm where it can receive plenty of indirect sunlight, particularly in the morning. Shield it from the intense afternoon sun during the hottest parts of summer. This hardy species is flexible enough to flourish outdoors in warm months and adjusts well to different indoor climates.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently slightly moist, avoiding water-logging. During warm periods, the tree may need watering more frequently than in cooler times. As an evergreen, the Chinese Elm retains its foliage all year, necessitating regular watering to stay healthy.

Temperature and Humidity: The Chinese Elm is versatile, tolerating a variety of temperature changes. To maintain optimal humidity, particularly when indoor heating can dry out the environment in winter, mist the leaves. This is in addition to keeping the soil damp to the touch.

Feeding: Promote healthy and robust growth by fertilising your Chinese Elm weekly with a balanced, diluted liquid bonsai fertiliser.

Pruning and Shaping: A little pruning is essential to maintain the desired shape and encourage fuller foliage. Regularly trim new growth to manage size and maintain the tree’s aesthetic. Pruning tips helps stimulate ‘back-budding,’ which encourages new growth closer to the trunk, ensuring a dense and tidy appearance. The main pruning season is spring. The bonsai will grow slower at other time of year.
