I agree with certain trees having no business indoors. I don't think maples can survive indoors, so I ll be surprised if OP's maple survives long. There can be a few reasons to try and keep a bonsai indoors. For example I would love to have a mame Chinese Elm on my desk all year. So if I find...

Here is my Chinese Elm Mallsai doing fine while other side of the window is covered in snow back in January: And here it is today: Between those two photos, I did about 3 prunings to shorten some shoots that were getting too long or that were unwanted. This tree was purchased October 9th last...

Hello everyone Here is how the tree looks today: Around 18th of July, I did some pruning and put some of the cuttings to water. Out of 7 of them: 1 dried up quickly, 3 of them had roots by mid August and were planted. one of them got planted today (still in water in the photos) and 2 of...

That looks really great! An inspiring one

Update time. This one has been doing well. After the November pruning, I did not touch it for a while. On 11th of April, I cleaned up some of the long shoots at the lover branches because they were getting really long but i left the upwards shoot. Spring is here but temperature fluctuations seem...

Below this, I would worry. People with more experience can advise maybe. It’s hard to resist pruning thıse long...

Update time. Around November 21st i did some pruning as the tree seemed to be in good shape. Here is how it looked like after the pruning: And how it looks like as of today: Really low light levels with basically no direct sun, cloudy days add up to big leaves.

@coltranem thank you! The `S` shape was something i was trying to avoid. It seems no one offered any opinions so i will give an update one week in; During first few days the plant lost about 2 dozen leaves. I was not sure if it was due to location change or watering. Soil was really clumped...

Hello everyone! Yesterday i bought this Chinese Elm from a home/gardening shop here in Poland. Obviously it has the short comings of any other mallsai, mostly style and stock wise. Not my first elm, will be a long project but before we get to that, here are some photos: As far as health goes...
