Chinese Elm problem - repotting is the answer?
Hi All,
I have two Chinese Elm 'mallsai' and both have leaves which are starting to yellow slightly - one more so than the other. I keep them outside and the sun isnt too strong on them yet. Could the problem be the medium they are potted in? When I water (& give them a good watering) and slightly lift the tree out of the pot the soil is still very dry, the soil is an orgainc material and is very clay like.
I think Chinese Elms need to be repotted in early spring - have I missed the boat? Or could I get away with repotting them in an inorganic material now?
Or could there be another reason for this? It can be quite windy in back garden but they do have fairly good shelter.
Any recommendations / opinions welcome guys!
Cheers
