I recently bought a Chinese Elm off ebay. I haven't recieved it yet but am just trying to get information on it. Its 7 1/2 inches tall and had a 2 1/2 inch trunk. It's in a very small pot (shohin variety) Any way i'm wondering if this can live indoors, how much to water/fertilize, how to tell when it's time for a repot ect. Any info will help. Once again, I love this site, and thanks guys.

In my experience that chinese elm, for the most past, should be kept outside. Protect from harsh winter weather by putting in a garage or shed. There are numberous care sheets online for this species.

People are told that elm and juniper can be grown inside. Long story short..they can't. They will survive for a few years and then eventually die. They need a dormant period to "recharge". They won't get it inside.

techically they can be grown indoors it is alot more work tho. lighting needs to be timed to induce growing,sustain growth,and force into dormancy which then it needs to be held at +/- 40 degrees for 40 to 60 days . so much easier to just put it outside

Okay so I'll grow outside, but in the winter when I move it into the garage, just how cold can it get, and how often would I water in winter?Would I wrap the base up and with what?

Being that you live in Kentucky, I'd say that you don't need to wrap the base...unless it gets below freezing.

Yeah we have hard winters, it will get down to single digits, so what should I wrap with and how often do I water, wouldn't the water just freeze in base?

i burry my trees in the ground, protect them from the wind and keep light to a bare minimum.you would actually want to have the roots freeze once the tree is dormant.ice will keep the roots a 32 degrees. once trees are dormant they store their energy as sugars in the roots which serves as a celular antifreeze.the major issue would be repeated thawing and freezing. once winter starts waining i bring my more delicate deciduous inside to come out of dormancy and wait for the freezing to stop to bring them outside.conifers need light and to be watered during winter deciduous do not
