I have a Chinese Elm that I have outside.
Actually I have 2, one is doing good and the other not so good.
They get morning sun and then 40% shade the rest of the day. Using 40% shadecloth.
The leaves on the big elm seem to turn yellow and drop even some of the new ones.
I bought it 6 months ago from the local nursery (bonsai shop also). I had it inside up until 3 weeks ago. I live in Michigan and the weather has been on the cooler side, mid 50s at night. Mid 70s during the day.
I water when the soil feels dry near the base of the tree making sure it runs out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. Fertilizer every other week with bonsai nutrients.
Just seems like it should be doing better?
Any input would be very much appreciated.
