Hi all,

So I recieved a chinese elm for Christmas, also my first bonsai. I live in a top floor flat so nowhere to put it outside. I have 1 East facing window where the sun will get to it for most of the morning. Is this adequate for a chinese elm? I am worried as others have said it is best to be outside. Any tips are much appreciated!

Regards

It’s a tree, so it needs to be outside. Inside it will die, sooner or later ( and mostly sooner)

Do you have any place to put it that is bright, cold but frost free?

My windowsill is bright in the morning and frost free, so would be bright and hot for a few hours and then in the shade for the rest of the day, it would stay frost free

What temperature?

At this time of year about 20°c in the flat and in the summer maybe 24-26° in the flat.

Too hot, it will die there.

I have just taken the temperature by the windowsill, 14-15° atm so will be 14-15° in the day and maybe 12° at night in the winter. I'm not sure what temperature in the summer but I can monitor it

Then there is a slight chanse of survival. However, creating bonsai demands more than just bare survival. For bonsai creation you need a tree that is thriving.
