How to make a home bonsai with elm seedlings (how to grow a bonsai with a small elm seedling)

The production process of elm bonsai can be roughly divided into the following aspects.

The first thing is to tie the main branches. You can use softer aluminum wire or lead wire when tying. Before tying, you can wrap a circle of hemp rope around the branches to prevent the branches of the young trees from being worn and damaged .

Secondly, during the production process, you should first draw the shape you want, and then slowly wrap it in combination with the drawing, using a soft posture to shape the sapling bonsai.

Generally speaking, elm bonsai can be made into cliff style, jungle style and curved trunk style, among which the cliff style trunk has the greatest ornamental value; secondly, further pruning and shaping are required.

Pruning is a supplement to the main trunk shaping. At this time, branches outside the shape can be appropriately trimmed .

For those branches that are too long, they can be pruned to promote the growth of new branches, forming a gradual, full and rounded elm bonsai effect, which can greatly improve the ornamental value.

The trunks of young elm trees are relatively fragile and easily bend .

For example, if the plant is often placed in one position, one side of the plant receives good light, while the opposite side lacks light, the growth of the leaves will be unbalanced, and over time the plant will fall to one side, forming a bonsai tree with a unique style.

From the beginning of the young tree, the method of bundling the young branches should be used to give it a new shape. And as it grows, the direction of the pot should be rotated frequently so that the whole plant can receive light evenly. This is very important for the production of bonsai in the future.

In short, when making bonsai of young elm trees, if they are placed in a sunny place, they can be watered and fertilized normally .

If it is placed in a shady place, you should pay attention to watering and fertilizing as little as possible to prevent the plant from growing too tall, making the plant shape disorderly and wasting nutrients in vain. In addition, watering should be poured from the base of the stem to avoid damaging the branches and leaves.

The elm trees maintained in this way will give people a feeling of age when they grow up and will be more ornamental.
