Caring for a 15-year-old Chinese Elm bonsai tree requires attention to several key aspects:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently damp to touch and mist the leaves regularly to increase the humidity surrounding the bonsai.
Placement: Provide good daylight, avoiding direct sunlight, heat sources and drafts. These bonsai are evergreen, however they can live outdoors where they will become deciduous and will need frost protection.
Pruning: Regularly trim new shoots to maintain shape. Pruning encourages even growth!
Fertilising: Feed every week throughout the year with Bonsai Direct Fertiliser.

Symbolising qualities like intuition and strength, it’s an eco-conscious gift that flourishes with minimal care, showcasing nature’s grace.

Customise your gift with extras like gift wrap, balloons, and personalised hanging tags upon adding the bonsai to the basket. Each bonsai comes with a comprehensive care guide featuring tips, general variety information, and symbolism.
