Hey everyone, I just recently got into the hobby of bonsai and picked up 2 bonsai trees, a chinese elm and a cork bark jade. I'm just looking for some advice on my newly acquired trees as I'm really excited about them.
On my chinese elm, what should I do about the branch growing at the base? Should I cut it off or? Just seems out of place and weird to me. Also, what can I do with it as of right now? I want to get my hands dirty bit I just feel like it needs to just sit and grow lol.
For the jade, can I start pruning it at all? Again, it's hard to have these and be new to the hobby and not want to do something with them lol. Any suggestions you guys can lend me?
The plants are indoors right now about 6inches from my T5s and on a 18/6 light cycle. Should I keep this like this for the winter? I've thought about the idea of putting them outdoors but the temperatures here between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and down to around the 40s at night. Is that too cold or will they do fine?
