Temperature

When it comes to winter, severe cold is a problem that many flower friends have to face, and so are those who plant elm bonsai. Unless it is a plant specially grown in cold areas, pay attention to the temperature of the plant growth environment in daily cultivation in winter. Potted elm is a plant with certain cold tolerance, so it can not be cultured indoors. But be careful not to put it in the shade outdoors. Long-term exposure to sunlight can lead to potted elm lesions and even death. When placed outdoors, it should not be blown directly by the cold wind in cold winter while ensuring the sunshine. In short, the growth environment of this plant in winter should ensure two points: sufficient sunlight and places out of the wind

Watering

In winter, potted elms will enter the dormancy period, so pay attention to reduce watering. In addition, generally, this kind of plant will not be placed indoors where the temperature is above the freezing point. It is mostly cultivated outdoors where it is sunny and will not be blown by the wind, so watering should be controlled very little. It's best to keep the soil in the basin more dry. Remember, watering the potted elm in winter. You'd rather let it dry than pour it indiscriminately

Pruning

In winter, the potted elm in dormant period has no leaves. At this time, many bare branches are useless waste branches. Reasonable pruning can not only make the plants look more beautiful, but also provide sufficient nutrients for the growth of new buds at the beginning of next spring. However, it should be noted that when pruning redundant waste branches, do not touch the reserved small branches. These buds are very fragile. Once damaged and unable to absorb nutrients, they will greatly affect the image of the whole plant in the coming year
