Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted November 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Who buys so many of them, Gnip? And why? Just glancing over some and I thought this Cordata had the potential for a hell of a bonsai! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wulnerable 1 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 (edited) I started with a small Chinese Elm from indoor plant delivery and it’s been great so far, came in good shape and looked healthy out of the box. I’ve kept mine near a bright window, watered it when the soil felt dry, and it’s doing alright. Not the easiest plant, but definitely rewarding if you're into this kind of slow project.
