The Chinese elm is a very popular choice of bonsai recommended for beginners as it is a strong tree that reacts well to pruning. If you want to practice clip-and-grow pruning look no further. Elms grows fast making it easy to build up a dense foliage mass by pruning alone within a few years. New shoots on an Elm will extend in any direction with alternating leaves getting bigger as the shoot gets longer. With them being quite an adaptable species, they are more tolerant to imperfect growing conditions. Fortunately, due to their natural vigour they are very good at recovering from accidental neglect too. Probably one of the best reasons why it is recommenced to beginners. Chinese Elm is a deciduous - sometimes semi-deciduous tree depending on the location. The graceful branches have clusters of leaves that emerge as green in the Spring and change to shades of golden during Autumn. Sometimes their leaves turn shades of red and purple too!

Caring for your elm bonsai

Elms love water. Water until water comes out of the drainage holes in the bottom. During the growth season, Spring – Summer, a lot of the shaping can be done with trimming alone. General maintenance pruning is to probably trim back to 1-3 leaves on each new shoot. Woody branches and trunks are reasonable flexible and can be wired into position if necessary.

Good to know: If something upsets an Elm they can often drop their leaves in a short period of time. Although this may be alarming for the inexperienced, with correct care and attention elms will almost always leaf back within a few weeks.

Sun exposure

The Chinese elm thrives in either full sun and/or partial shade. It can be kept outdoors as well as indoors in a sunny location. They are very tolerant of a wide variety of temperatures and climates. They can be grown year-round in a light warm indoor location where they will stay in leaf and growing all year. Or they can also be grown outside where they will go dormant in Winter.


Fertilizing

Elm bonsai enjoy organic feed. Moderate application of once a month is all that's necessary to keep elm bonsai growing strong.

Great beach read!
Format: Kindle
This is a great beach read! Hannah is a travel influencer, touring the country in her vintage van with her Great Dane, Dude. She was thinking about settling down in a real home for a while when she inherited a beach house from her Pops. As she arrives, she unexpectedly runs into Simon, who is under the impression that it is his house, left to him by his Gramps. When the lawyer arrives to explain things, it turns out that they each own 50% of the house. In order to inherit, they each must spend at least two months living in the house and there are a few other stipulations included. Neither of them is happy about the situation, as Hannah wants to live there, and Simon wants to sell. As they meet people in the neighborhood, they find out there is a lot they didn’t know about their grandfathers. The characters are quite well developed and interesting. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop.

A little greasy, stains hands, smells great
This tanning lotion is better than Planet Fitness lotion, but I am giving it time since I just started using it, but I can tell it smells delicious, lotion as well. A little greasy for my liking but it gets the job done! Make sure to use a glove as the stuff can stain your hands!!! The lotion goes on like BUTTER! 🧈

GREAT - Must buy!
Cannot reccomend these enough. Actually helps turn your burns into tan and reduce redness with the after sun product and the tan enhancer REALLY works. Be careful to let the brown enhancer dry if you're wearing white as it will rub off on your clothes but it did wash out!

Does not absorb all the way BUT STILL THE BEST!
This is THE BEST outdoor/by the pool/by the water tanning lotion ever! I have used it in my tanning bed for years. It gives you a STUNNING rich, brown tan after just a couple of sessions. I will say the browning lotion doesn't absorb all the way so it does and will make a mess! But it does NOT stain ever, it washes right off. Once I am done tanning, I just take a dry towel and remove excess lotion. The after tan lotion is amazing and will turn any little burn into a beautiful tan overnight! My all time fave! It smells like mocha and coffee which makes sense because there's coffee as an ingredient!

Love love love
I have never had a tanning product work so well for me. First off let me start with saying that how quick it works is based off of where you are in the world in my experience. For example, if you are at the beach or an island or somewhere the sun is closer to the equator, it works quicker. If you are somewhere further north, it takes a bit longer, but still not by much. I would say only about a 15-30 minute difference for seeing results varying UV index. This product has definitely made it easier to tan living up north. And the aftercare lotion with this stuff is *chefs kiss*. I would put the aftercare stuff on after laying out on the beach and getting red like Larry the Lobster, then would wake up the next day with a tan and moisturized skin. Plus, with working, it makes it harder to spend my day soaking in the sun(sadly). But I still have a great tan after a week. Also, I am a skincare finatic and this did not make my face breakout or anything. (It does also have a sort of molasses smell but it really isnt horrible). So yes, buy the product. It’s so worth it.
