Hi wonderful knowledgeable fellow bonsai enthusiasts!! I have jumped in to the world of indoor bonsai with both feet and bought myself a beautiful Chinese Elm approx 10 years old.
i’m an absolute beginner in the UK and would appreciate all the help & advice I can get please.
So far Yoshi, (yes I’ve named it!), is sat on my south facing kitchen windowsill on some gravel on a humidity tray filled with a little water.
What care / maintenance do Chinese Elms need?
I have no tools, what essentials should I get?
Watering - am I ok to submerge once a week for 30 minutes, leave to drain and pop back on the tray? I’m not exceptionally good at remembering to water.
Feeding - I have some BioGold and have been told to place a pellet and inch apart all the way round once a month. Is this correct? I also have some drip feeder food.
Moss - for aesthetics I’d like to add some moss; is this advisable and if so which moss and how please?
If you’ve made it this far THANK YOU for reading, basically how is the easiest way to care for my little Yoshi please?
