Japanese Grey-bark Elm (2871)

Japanese Grey-bark Elm (Zelkova carpinifolia). Native to South Korea, China, and Japan. This deciduous tree is elegant and easy to grow. The serrated dark green leaves change color from light green in spring to bright yellow, orange, and red in autumn. The crown shape has a natural broom form, perfect for bonsai.

Temperature conditions
Optimal temperature for growing from +15 °C to +25 °C.

Location
Japanese elm can be kept indoors, but in the summer it needs to be outside in a shaded place. The plant needs protection from the cold, so in the fall, when the temperature starts to drop, it should be brought into the house. In spring, you can put the tree outside again, provided there are no night frosts.
The plant likes lighted places, but not under the direct rays of the sun, from which the trunk can quickly overheat. It is necessary to ensure that the tree is lighted from all sides evenly for this pot is periodically rotated.

Soil
Prefers well-drained soil with pH 5.0–7.0.
Specialized bonsai soil or a mixture of Akadama, pumice and organic soil can be used.
