Hi all,
Bought a bonsai from the local garden centre and want to give it the best chance to thrive.
The label says it’s a zelkova serrata however I suspect its a Chinese Elm?
I’ve done nothing to it so far except put it outside, so wondering what I should do to keep it healthy.
I think I need to repot it in bonsai soil given the soil it came with is powdery peaty stuff, but checking it’s not too late to do this in UK?
Secondly is it best to leave the foliage to grow this year for the heath of the plant and start pruning in the winter?
Anything else you would do now for this tree?
Appreciated!
