Bonsai Chinese Elm in Ceramic Bowl, approx. 8 years, 35-40 cm

Bonsai - Chinese elm in a ceramic bowl

This bonsai tree of the species Ulmus parvifolia, the Chinese elm, is a living plant about 6-9 years old, supplied in a decorative ceramic bowl matched to its size. The whole tree is 35-40 cm tall, and its trunk has a naturally curved shape that gives the plant the look of a mature, old tree - typical of classic bonsai art.

Plant characteristics

The Chinese elm is distinguished by small, glossy green leaves that form a dense, compact crown. In cooler climate regions the leaves may turn golden in autumn, which adds variety to the plant's appearance through the year.

Care

The plant is very flexible in its light requirements - it does well both in full sun and in partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil and regular, moderate watering. Thanks to its hardiness, the Chinese elm is recommended for both beginners and experienced bonsai enthusiasts, as it takes shaping and pruning easily.

Use

The tree can be kept both indoors and outdoors - on a patio or balcony - but remember to protect it from extremely low temperatures in winter. It is an elegant living decoration that becomes more and more distinctive over time as the crown is shaped.
