When is the best time to transplant elm?

Elm can be transplanted all year round. However, it is recommended to transplant in winter and spring, when the trees are in dormancy, and the damage caused by transplantation is relatively small, which will not hinder spring germination. In spring, they basically adapt to the new environment and can grow new buds and leaves normally. It is best to avoid the hot summer, and the wound is easy to be infected.

Elm transplanting method

1, choose a flowerpot.

Elm transplant varieties with strong vitality and high survival rate can survive as long as the root system is developed. The flowerpot is selected according to the size of the plant, and the texture is a well-ventilated pottery pot or a purple sand pot.

Step 2 prepare pot soil

Elm transplantation uses loose, fertile and breathable soil. Adding a small amount of moss and cement can increase the drainage of soil, and the basin soil should not be too sticky and the sediment content should not be too high.

Step 3 start transplanting

Soak the new flowerpot in clear water for one hour, take the elm out of the original flowerpot, adjust its shape and put it in the shade.

Dry the soaked new flowerpot, take it out, fill the flowerpot with soil, transplant elm into the soil, and pat the soil while filling the soil so that the middle position of the soil is higher than the surrounding position.

After the soil is filled, spread the moss on the soil, pour it thoroughly, and cultivate the transplanted elm bonsai in a cool and ventilated place.

Management of Elm after Transplantation

1, pruning

If the elm bonsai is found to be in poor shape after transplantation, it can be trimmed in time to ensure its ornamental value.

Step 2: Moisture

Water the transplanted elm according to the growth condition, and keep the basin soil moist and the plant epidermis moist. Don't water too much to avoid water accumulation.
