Any Chinese Elms out there?

[StoneCloud]

Looking to get a Chinese elm or two.

Prebonsai and starters are ok too. But I am looking for a little more than a stick in a pot

If anyone has any please message me or post here. Thanks!!!

I still gotta send you this ficus, I was looking at it, well, everyday!
I'll have a pot for you too, hopefully I can send it this summer. If so, I can probly send you a nice little Siberian Start I got from M. Frary. They are kinda like Chinese Elms...but without the Panties!

I wouldn't hesitate to get a Zelcova from @cmeg1 if you're into good healthy starts.

Bump.

Ficus

I left the shittier one out to die in the winter.

This one has been near static.
The moss has not!



That's my OG @satansarmy pot.
It never received it's Most Metal Planting cuz my Lambs ear died, but I can get more.

It still wants to branch low so this thing could be righteous.

@sorce I really like that pot, a lot!

Moss is boss!! I have to get my moss game up, haha.

Has this one been under lights or just the window? Maybe soil too moist from moss on top?

My ficus do amazing in this 3 window part of the house. Cuttings take in a week and a half! I gotta get a pic of it.

Can't say enough how much I dig the fig!!

Just this winda since Mid November. And it gets bone-dry probly at least once a week.
Then it gets watered.

It's gangster as can be.

great info on how little light ficus can work with during winter. Thank you I can worry less. I let my ficus dry out too. It's a good thing.

Something interesting to share: I've found with mine if I Keep my thermostat at 67 I get almost no growth. But once set to 68 or higher the ficus push. Seems to be the sweet spot with my indoor conditions. No grow lights or heat pads just ambient temp and available sunlight.

Just rooted 5 Cuttings too. Never thought I would be so excited over indoor results. More of a keep em outside guy, but I love ficus too much and must keep them.
