Hi!
I have a one year old Chinese Elm that I have been keeping on my windowsill receiving max light indoors, however I forgot to water it for about 3 weeks and all the leaves withered, went yellow and dried up

I have been reading around how to revive it and re-potted it tonight - is there any hope with this tree?

As I know they can have periods of dormancy and leaves fall off, so it may be a matter of watching and waiting?

Kind regards,
Lois

PS I have attached photos of the tree when it was bought, and sadly what it looks like today.

Chinese elm is a temperate semi decidious tree. It can perfectly well drop leafs as a reaktion to freezing temperatures and grow back when heat comes back. That is the natural behaviour of this kind of tree.

Indoors they drop leafs for totally different reasons, stress. It may survive and grow a few new leafs, but it will not be as healthy as before.

As soon as risk of frost is over in your area put it outside and just focus on watering. Never ever bring it inside again. No repotting, prunning, styling or fertilizeing until it is back in full health.
