Ulmus parviflora - Complete Beginner HELP PLEASE was created by Najda
Posted 4 years 2 months ago #63462This is my first post on this forum. I only registered cause I really need your help and to be honest I am a total beginner sooo...
Please don't judge me, I probably hurt my precious tree.
My journey beginned when my friends acknowledged that I always wanted to grow a bonsai tree. So they gave me one as a gift for my birthday at the beginning of August.
It is Ulmus parviflora. I read soem articles and kept it in a half sunny place and water it approximately every two days or when i spotted that it's dry. Also I tried to cut it slightly once a week as it was actively growing.
Unfrotunately my tree probably didn't feel good about my treatments and it started to drop leaves ~half of september. After that I moved it to a different spot, less sunny. I thought it's dying but watered it every couple days. Suddenly, about a week ago I saw it growing new twigs.
After that I named my tree "phoenix" as it almost felt like grew from the ashes after death
But seriously, please look at the photos and help me. How should i treat my tree, because like I mentioned I am a complete beginner. teach me pleaseeee.

Posted 4 years 2 months ago #63466So you say it's normal in the northern hemisphere? I just need some tips how to handle the tree.
EDIT:
Oh I forgot. The city I live in is Warsaw. It's the capital of Poland. I'd say it feels like very early autumn. Not so cold though. We had some colder dayse lately around 7 Celsius degrees but today for example was actually very warm cause around 19 degrees. That is really unusual.
Anyway you can check the longer term weather online:

It might loosing its leaves a little early for your location, but there are really nothing you can do about it right now. New leaves will not grow until spring, if it was healthy enough going into authumn that is.
But the leave syou can see on the photos are new. And before it lost all the previous leaves. Let me know if you can see the photo now. I posted it in this reply. Should I keep it outside now or leave it where it is now?

Posted 4 years 2 months ago #63485Yes, move it outside with slow adjustment to outside life. If you face temperature below -10 In winter, put it into some protection. Shed, basement, greenhouse or anywhere not getting that cold. Living room conditions in winter will kill chineese elms.
