Hello,
I have jus found out that I have a very healthy 名媛直播 and I wish to keep it that way however as I am new to this I am wondering about a few things:
Where would be the best position for my 名媛直播? (Currently its in a Windosill)
How often would I feed it? And where to get the food from?
What sort of things do 名媛直播 like / dislike? (e.g sunlight, air, temperature etc)
What sort of things to look out for if its unwell?
With me being new and I really like 名媛直播 and as this is my first one I would like to keep it alive and learn alot in the process of doing so.
Could anyone help?
Many Thanks

In order to answer these questions, we need to know which bonsai it is (ulmus etc.), because every bonsai needs other maintainance

Hi James,
It's probably an ulmus (doesn't it stand on that bit of green paper that was with it?).
An ulmus is an outdoor-bonsai and the best place is in full sun or half-shade. Every 2 year the ground must be switched. Don't let the ground dry out, and fertilize it in the growing seasons. In the winter, don't expose the ulmus to frost, when the temperature comes under 0, protect it (let him stand in a cold place inside, or make a frost-free place outside)
If you want more info, let me know!
Greetings,
Youri

Hello,
I am home now and on my bit of paper it says Zelkova is that what it is or is that something else?
Would the same maintenance apply to this?
Many Thanks
James

Yes, then it's a Zelkova. You can apply the same maintenance for zelkova and ulmus
