The Chinese Elm is the most commonly used Elm, although its other varieties are also suitable for growing Bonsai trees.
Position: Grows well in both sun and partial shade. The Ulmus can withstand cold well and can be placed outside also during winter. An Ulmus bought as an indoor tree can be placed outside as well, but protect in during the winter, or place it inside in a cold bright room.
Watering: Slightly moist, no particularities.
Feeding: Fertilize monthly during its growth season (spring-summer)
Pruning: Reacts well to regular pruning, growing a dense branch structure. Allow shoots to extend 3 or 4 nodes then prune back to 1 or 2 leaves. When pruning large branches wait till late autumn.
Repotting: Repotting can be done once every two years, using a standard potting soil.
Propagation: Only by cuttings
