hey there

got a chinese elm last Feb and instructions said it was an indoor plant (as well as many other instructions that i have now discoverd are not helping my tree)

As i kept it inside over the winter (i live in UK zone 8 btw) it didn't go into a deciduous state and now its lost almost all its leaves and new growth is extremely slow and soon dries out!

Could it be lack of energy from not getting a rest?or has it just had enough of being indoors (its outside now). if it is worn out should i puttit in the fridge or something to put it into a deciduous state or wll this just confuse the poor thing!?

At first i thought it was root rot but i took a look at the roots and they didn't seem too bad and didn't smell like they were roting

thanks andy
