Last year I discovered bonsai and eventually picked up this tree around this time last year. It was discounted and not doing well so I fixed it up, some of you may have read the post I created about it. The tree was originally an indoor tree, so over the first months I acclimatised it and placed it outside.
During the winter it was placed inside my plastic greenhouse. It survived and leafed out well for spring, interestingly the leaves came through a lighter shade of green from before. I re-potted it in earlyish spring into a more appropriate pot with better free draining medium. The tree is placed in full sun and I water it well when it needs it, I've recently got a water-but so its lovely rain water. I have been feeding it weekly at half strength using bonsai focus.
The tree has the odd couple of yellow leaves not in any particular area from what I can see, they drop of freely.
I do have another Chinese Elm that is sat next to it, but hasn't got this issue. The leaves are darker so maybe its a different variety, although it was also sold as an indoor and has been outside since spring. That tree has also taken to feeding differently - shooting out long sappy shoots at times. I'm quite pleased with the progress of this other tree and I'm quite looking forward to showing you all its progress.
Check out the photographs below. I'm happy to answer any question if more information is required.
