bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Help my Chinese Elm is dying

There are a couple possibilities. You may not have enough light to grow these trees indoors, or they may having an adverse reaction to the climate there. I think Tony has said in the past that it is difficult to maintain Chinese Elm indoors over the long haul.

Is there any chance you can suspend a flourescent fixture with a couple of growlights in it 10-12" above the trees on a timer?

Or maybe you can declare it to be winter and put these guys outside for some much needed rest and recuperation?

What area are you growing in?
