40-45 cm tall Chinese elm bonsai in a green oval bonsai bowl

 Chinese elm ( Ulmus parvifolia ) bonsai planted in a green glazed ceramic bonsai bowl. The Chinese elm is perhaps one of the most popular bonsai varieties with its small leaves and favorable development characteristics for keeping bonsai. It can be shaped well in all bonsai sizes and all bonsai styles. It responds well to pruning, and is easy to maintain.

Bonsai height: 40 - 45 cm

Bonsai repotting: It is recommended to check every spring whether the root system has grown out of the bonsai bowl. If so, then transplantation or root pruning is necessary. Always plant it in soil with good water permeability!

Bonsai watering: In the case of Chinese elm, always make sure that the soil is moist. It should not be waterlogged, but its soil should not dry out either.

Latin name: Ulmus parvifolia
