Wiring: Applying the bonsai wire is easily possible because the bendable branches do not break so easily
Fertilisation: From March to September with a commercial Bonsai fertilizer (like Biogold, Hanagokoro, Liquid bonsai fertilizer)
Irrigation: Do not keep too wet but also do not let it dry out
Pruning: Cut back vigorously 2-3 times from May to early August with a sharp bonsai scissor (the wood is very soft). Seal large incisions with wound sealant
Overwintering: Very bright and as cool as possible. The Chinese elm tolerates temperatures up to the frost limit very well
Repotting: Repot Chinese elm bonsai approx. every 3-4 years at beginning of march in a well-drained bonsai soil (for example Akadama) with strong root-cut
