Chinese elm wintering
I bought a chinese Elm at the begining of spring, heres how it looked when i
first got it http://www.aowk48.dsl.pipex.com/102_0215small.JPG Then, towards the end of summer, all the large leaves started dropping off and it seemed to start frantically growing tiny buds of new leaves. These would grow for a while then drop off http://www.aowk48.dsl.pipex.com/bonsaisummer.JPG I was a bit worried about it, so i did some searching online and it looked like my Elm was trying to go dormant, but the late summer heat and sun were still making it attempt new growth. A few people had similar problems to this, and the answer seemed to be to put it somewhere quite dark and cool to let it naturaly go dormant. I did it, and all seemed to be going ok. But... suddenly in the last few days it has started sprouting lots of new growth, both leaves and young branches, as if its coming out of dormancy. This is it as of about 10 mins ago http://www.aowk48.dsl.pipex.com/bonsainow.JPG I really dont want it to wake up as autumn is weel under way and winter is coming. Is there anything i can do? Put it somewhere even darker and cooler? Any help appreciated dan |
