Aren't you overwatering somehow?

I am not, but I definitely overfed it. I'll try watering less I guess, is that all I can do to get rid of the mold?

Is it standing somewhere very sheltered? Moving it to a windier & Sunnier position can help

It is indeed very sheltered between the window and the curtains. I'll try and find it a new spot to get some air and sun

It should be outdoors, no?

I tried the same with one of my trees, some years ago.

What I did was scraping the top soil off with a fork. Then water less and feed it less. Right now it's impossible to water that soil with all that mold.

The lady from the flower shop told me I can keep it indoors. Should I put it outside? The winters are pretty rough here. I read online that it can also be kept inside.

I scraped the mold off once too, but it appeared again after a few days. I'll try it again and water less. Thank you

Chinese Elm thrives best outdoors. Consider placing it outdoors in spring. Repot the tree in early spring. Feed it less from now on. Water it less but make sure all the soil gets wet when you water. Let the soil dry between watering, but not completely dry out.

The lady from the flower shop says anything to sell more plants.

a trick to know if you're watering too much/ little I have from a book by David Prescott
Drive a bamboo stick (like the ones you use on saté's) through the soil for an half an hour and check the tip, if it's dry you need to water it. After watering the plant, stick it in again and wait for an half an hour, it should be moist then
