Hello all I would like to start by saying I live in South Florida. My Chinese elm is pushing leaves out pretty well now. I know it's not spring but winter here hasn't gotten below 45 and we are in the 70s now.

Would it be a good time to repot? Maybe if it drops down again bring it inside ?

Thanks

I leave all Elms outdoors year round, and repot them in the very first week of the Spring. It's been working alright for my climate, similar to yours.

Awesome I'll just wait then

I would go by what your plant tells you. The plant does not look on the calender and sais: Jee, it is spring, why have I not been repotted. Buds fattening and starting to open up = spring for the plant.

On that subject - they also tell the local ant community to bring the aphids. Last week the elms started springing leaves out, and then a cherry tree, and I just found the leaf buds covered with aphids. Sigh.
