I received a cedar elm and a shohin Chinese elm from Wigerts today. The cedar arrived with no leaves at all, not surprising being winter and all, and the Chinese elm still had some, but they were sparse. I assume they’re dormant but would have been in a much different environment a week ago.
Sticking them outside at all before spring is here is surely a no-go, so right now it’s bunking inside with my tropicals. I have my tropicals under some regular furniture type lamps with 5000k LED bulbs shining 24/7, and they’ve actually been seeing some decent new growth the past few weeks.
My question is whether I should provide the same lighting to the elms or would that pull them out of dormancy early? If it does, is that even a bad thing?
Beyond that, how long should it take them to recover from the travel and change in environment to the point that I could do clean/prune/repot?
Thanks for any advice.
