Ulmus parvifolia - Chinese elm shohin bonsai:

 Ulmus parvifolia in shohin size, commonly known as Chinese elm. In terms of upbringing, it prefers full sun, bright space and / or filtered light. However, for ideal development, it needs more light, it can withstand direct sunlight well, but not extreme heat. In temperate climates, we can leave it outdoors even in the winter months, as long as there are no strong frosts. The best thing is to actually take your plant to a cool but frost-free room for the winter. In the case of overwintering, it is advisable to protect the root ball from frost with a natural covering material (eg mulch or straw, possibly a leaf cover). The Chinese elm usually tolerates some frost, but it depends on which region it was imported from. Trees from northern China are much more resistant to frost than trees from southern areas. Depending on the winter temperature, spring leaves or drops the leaves of the Chinese elm until the new shoots hatch. It is advisable to keep the soil moist at all times, to avoid overwatering and stagnant water. Prolonged dry media can impair the health of the tree and therefore requires increased attention. In the winter dormancy period, nutrient replenishment is not really needed, but the combination of solid organic fertilizer and balanced liquid fertilizer (Biogoldfeed cube and / or Bio-Green liquid nutrient solution) works well after growth. The tree can also be grown by pruning, not only with wiring, and within a few years you can decorate your garden or patio as a spectacular shohin bonsai.
