[IBC] Ulmus Parvifolia losing leaves in ever more frequent cycles

- it doesn't seem to like
being outside) the dear old thing has lost most of its leaves about 3
times (since May). They quickly regrow again and it's looking very
healthy just now, but I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. I mist
it virtually every day and water it when it seems to need some watering
- this regime hasn't changed much since I bought it.

I last repotted it in early July - seemed OK except for some small
patches of what seemed to be light blue mold which I removed.


Well, I grow mine outside 24/7/365. Don't mist it, that probably caused the
mold. They don't like to be wet, be sure to have a well drained soil.
