Could it be some kind of Cypress, Cupressus? There is a weeping form. Or False Cypress, Chamaecyparis?

It may or may not be a deal breaker for some but all their ume are grafted I believe. I'd look elsewhere considering the price and size, and the fact they're grafted. That's just me thought lol

Replacing dirt with dirt+perlite doesn't make sense. They're both almost exactly the same

They are what you want them to be 😇

First you need to research what defines a bonsai. Once you have the answer you'll know what to do. You have a green thumb after all 👍 Keeping them IN the home? Or keeping them AT the house? There's a world of difference. Oh and welcome aboard. If you stay long enough you might learn a thing or...

It's like walking 10 miles when you have a car to drive. Certain plants, definitely ficus, roots super easy from cuttings. And the cuttings can be arraigned to fuse as they grow. Can save a year or a couple.

Why bonsai soil of course!

Check out frames 4:05 to 4:11 from first vid :p

Nah, leave it as is for the flowers Get a real tree like elm or ficus to do bonsai stuff on

You mean figs that produces edible fruits? Figs planted in the ground have no problems with winter in 7a. I see people have them in their front yard in the ground. So I planted two varieties in the yard myself. One had very minor tip die back back while the other was good. Made a bunch of...

I found that zone 7 to be great for people lazy with winter protection When I was in Philly, used to be 6b now 7a, I half heartedly mulched some regular maple saplings sitting on the ground and they have no problem at all the following spring. Actually none of my trees had any problems with...

These grow wild in Southern Colorado for sure but I wasn't sure what it was also. Seen a couple in my friends yard

Dude, you're recommending lightbulb well underpowered man. For comparison sake vegetative growing for uhhh 'tomato" indoors is at least 250 PAR. Getting them to flower needs at least 500 PAR. Your light bulb is 20 PAR lol. That would be a total waste of $20+ I did a little unscientific...

God's plan to have a baby born one day and die by bomb the next is one F'ed up plan ain't it?

This is an honest question. Why did God blessed you with all that you have, even materialistic things? In other parts of the world people, kids live in fear their life could end any day at any time. Are every one of them inherently bad? Evil? They deserved to be afraid for their lives? When a...

I would wait till they are actively growing new leaves. Buds looks plump so maybe soon if you want. But I would let them grow freely for now though to gain health, that's just me being cautious. They seem to be spaced out well atm. Not shading each other out so no trimming necessary. IMO...

No, the conversation turned into growing outdoor trees indoors in general. While may or may not be a bonsai technique, the elms WILL have to be pruned to fit the particular space, unless that space is the entire room. I agree with Tums. Could be soil is hydrophobic. Soil dried to the point...

I would like to see your none chinese elm, dawn redwood and juniper and pine from your indoor setup please lol. Indoors growing is actually really simple I agree. Just delete your roof lol

Why the need to follow basic bonsai fundamentals?? This thread has nothing to do with bonsai at all. LOL just dishing out the truth, served fresh. AKA reality as stated: knowing the truth will make the outcome less painful.

That's leading her in the wrong direction. This thread has nothing to do with bonsai. Just basic horticulture, or in this case sorta hydroponic. If I read the plan correctly, the trees are sustained by the water in the terrarium. There's reasons why people who've been doing plant things for...

From the very first response to now, 4 pages later to your op people been telling you elms don't play inside. But you kept saying Eastern Leaf says it can grow inside. Sorta implying you didn't like the answers given to you. But I tjink you misunderstood Eastern Leaf. The wording is deceptive...

Long answer is "no" Appears the consensus is 1+1=2, but you want to hear 1+1=11 and for someone to tell you that Guess the only thing to do now is go forward with the project and learn from it.

Just checked out Eastern Leaf myself. This part must have been glossed over. Quite sure what was meant was indoors as in a greenhouse. Not an attic or basement; or a box inside of a room. edit: "sufficient natural lighting"

You folks are reading the OP wrong. Poor guy just wanted to know what it takes to give his elms the best chance at survival indoors. He already spent $100+ on the trees and not want that money to go to waste. I tried to be helpful to give him a simple breakdown of most important items to have...

Ain't that a leaf hopper? An UNWANTED visitor in the garden? Red back jumping spider. Most common and largest jumping spider in the Midwest/Western US They, and other bugs somehow find their way into my room!
