Care tips for elm bonsai:

1. Enhance lighting. It likes sunshine and tolerates a little shade, so it should be placed in a sunny place. If there is insufficient sunlight, it will develop leggy branches, poor leaf color, and is prone to insect damage.

2. Keep the pot soil moist without water stains. Elm trees like to grow in moist places, but they are also afraid of water damage. Therefore, spray water should be poured thoroughly, and it should be watered once in the morning and evening in midsummer. If there is water in the basin, it should be cleared as soon as possible.

3. Fertilize appropriately. Use peanut cakes to mature into water and liquid fertilizer. You can also break the peanut cakes into thumb-sized pieces and bury them in the soil. You can also use some compound flower fertilizer together. Fertilizer should be applied once in early spring and once in early autumn, and it is not advisable to apply more.

4. Pruning and shaping should be done in time. The elm tree has strong budding power and grows quickly. If the branches are not pruned, the pile landscape will lose its ornamental value. Pruning can be done in autumn. First cut off useless branches and diseased branches, and then prune them according to their shape or shape.

5. Elm trees are often damaged by aphids and clamshell insects. They can be sprayed with dilute dimethoate 1,000 times. Elm tree stumps are not only used for bonsai viewing, but can also be used as a decorative tree in the courtyard. A single tree forms a landscape, with excellent effects. However, when transplanting large tree stumps, you need to bring soil with you, and you need to do it before the leaves sprout in winter and spring. After planting, wrap the stems with straw mixed with yellow mud water, and water regularly to ensure that the soil and straw are moist.
