Potted elm trees need sufficient light conditions to ensure that plants can produce a lot of chlorophyll during photosynthesis, promote the rapid growth of branches and leaves, and avoid excessive branches and leaves.

Step 2 water properly

Elm is suitable for growing in humid environment, but it also needs to avoid excessive watering and waterlogging. Keep the soil moist and water it properly during the growing period. In summer, the weather is hot and the water evaporates quickly, so water is poured once a day. The temperature is low in winter, so reduce the amount of watering.

3. Rational fertilization

Use diluted NPK compound fertilizer once a month during the growth period of elm. You can use rotten cake fertilizer the rest of the time. Be careful not to apply too much fertilizer to avoid fertilizer accumulation.

Step 4 trim and reshape

After the elm grows for a period of time, all the diseased old branches and leaves, the overgrown branches and leaves, and the dry and rotten branches and leaves are pruned to avoid affecting the overall plant density and increasing its ornamental value.

5, elm winter matters needing attention

(1) irrigation amount

Potted elms will go into dormancy and stop growing in winter. At this time, we should pay attention to reducing the amount of watering, and the plants should be in a slightly dry state.

(2) Pruning

Potted elm trees need to be pruned properly before winter to cut off the dry and rotting redundant branches and leaves to ensure the plants to grow more nutrients. Promote healthy growth in the second year and strengthen aesthetics.
