The evergreen in question looks like a juniper. They tend to go premanently dormant if left inside. I suggest getting it outside, and if you don't have an outside spot, you may want to sell it or trade it for something better adapted to indoor life. If you do repot it, I would suggest waiting until the spring, it'll be much happier if you do.

Regarding the elm, what kind of soil is it in? You said it drains well, how well? How frequently do you water?

Best of luck
