I have been keeping Ulmus parvifolia for many years as an outdoor plant and enjoy them a lot.
Recently I've been reading that some people grow them indoors exclusively. I have, in the past allowed them their dormant period outside and then brought them into the house in order to enjoy their budding out and to get them a jump on the season before putting them out when the temperature was
warm enough to support the tender new growth.
But I'm intrigued by the idea that they can be grown indoors 12 months a year. I wonder how they can get their needed dormant period if kept under light and warm during the cold months.
I also hear that the ones that are kept like this must be germinated from seed and grown indoors from the start. That if they are exposed to a cold season they can no longer be kept indoors thereafter.
If someone can shed some light on this for me......tell me how they do it from a lighting, fertilization etc. perspective, I'd appreciate it.
