Hi all,
A few weeks ago I've bought a cheap, mass produced Ulmus Parviflora/Chinese Elm.
This is my first "bonsai" and my main goal is keeping it alive.
The issue I have is, when watering, some of the soil spills out of the pot. (from the top side)
I have made soil layer ascending towards the trunk, however by watering this ascending layer just flushes away.
I don't want to water it from to high, because i'm afraid of black spot.
But also when watering just the soil, big parts of it flush away.
I have re-potted the plant in a bonsai soil mix.
Is this normal? Is there some measures is should take for this?
Kind regards,
