Caring for Your Indoor Character Bonsai Tree – Ideal for Beginners

Lighting: Position your Chinese Elm where it can enjoy ample indirect sunlight, particularly in the morning. Avoid exposing it to harsh afternoon sun during the peak of summer. This resilient species can thrive outdoors in warmer months and is adaptable to various room temperatures.

Watering: Maintain the soil consistently damp to the touch, ensuring it doesn’t dry out. In warmer weather, it will need more frequent watering compared to the winter months. As an evergreen, it retains its leaves year-round. Aim to keep the soil just slightly damp and not too wet.

Temperature and Humidity: The Chinese Elm tolerates diverse environments and can endure fluctuations in temperature. Misting the leaves can help maintain humidity levels when the central heating is on, this is in addition to keeping the soil adequately moist.

Feeding: Boost the health and growth of your Chinese Elm by fertilising it weekly with a balanced, diluted liquid bonsai fertiliser.

Pruning and Shaping: Regular pruning is essential for preserving its form and encouraging denser foliage. Trim back new growth to maintain the desired size, being mindful of the overall shape of the tree. Pruning the tips promotes ‘back-budding,’ prompting new leaves to emerge further down the branches, resulting in a tidy and compact appearance.

A care guide is included with all bonsai we supply, so all the information required will be at your finger tips!

Styling: Rated 5 out of 5
Adaptability: Rated 5 out of 5

Our expert bonsai grower Lloyd Noall has been growing this bonsai for many years. He gives us his personal opinion of this specific bonsai tree.

“The neat highly refined foliage pads are formed by years of pruning out the tips of the new shoots to encourage back-budding”. Back budding in bonsai refers to the process where new growth emerges from older branches in response to pruning. By selectively trimming branch tips, bonsai growers encourage fresh growth closer to the trunk, promoting a fuller and more balanced appearance in the tree. This technique is crucial for shaping and refining bonsai, allowing for greater control over its size and design.

“The quality of this bonsai is specimen standard”. The elegant twisting trunk flow, the highly refined uncluttered appearance and high quality pot and tray all create a living masterpiece. This bonsai is exceptionally good value for money considering the years and work involved in its creation. Take a closer look at the shari – the trunk is full of character.

“This species of bonsai is often known as the Lacebark Elm or Ulmus parvifolia“. The Lacebark Elm is distinguished by its striking bark, characterised by a mottled appearance that often forms colourful patterns along its trunk. This unique feature adds visual interest and beauty to the tree, making it a standout choice for bonsai growers.

“A top favourite due to its ease of care, styling and adaptability”. A Chinese Elm bonsai is a top favourite because it’s remarkably easy to care for, adaptable to various environments, and offers versatile styling options. Also, its resilience to different conditions makes it ideal for beginners.
