How to water Elm in winter

Watering of Elm in Winter

In winter, the small-leaved elm will enter a dormant period, but it still needs watering. Generally, the small-leaved elm is cultivated outdoors in sunny places where it will not be blown by the wind, so the amount of water must be controlled when watering.

  In winter, bring the small-leaved elm back indoors for maintenance. Do not water it too frequently at this time. It depends on the condition of the plant. The small-leaved elm does not need to be exposed to the sun. Just keep it at home, water it well and expose it to some sunlight appropriately.

Improper watering of Elm microphylla in winter

The small-leaved elm will die if it is not watered properly in winter. When watering, water it only when you see the soil surface is almost dry. Water it thoroughly at one time, but there should not be water accumulation on the soil surface, otherwise its roots will easily rot.

Fertilizing Ulmus parviflora in winter

The small-leaved elm has poor ability to absorb fertilizer in winter, and if the fertilizer is too concentrated, it will easily cause yellow leaves. It is better to apply fertilizer once every 20 days, and you can also water it at the same time. Fertilizer can be used together with water for irrigation.

Precautions for watering small-leaved elm in winter

1. The leaves of the small-leaved elm will turn yellow in winter. At this time, you need to control watering and reduce the number of watering times. Generally, it is sufficient to water once every three days. The amount of watering must also be controlled to prevent water accumulation, which will lead to root rot of the small-leaved elm.

2. In winter, water the small-leaved elm thoroughly at one time, and wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Do not allow water to accumulate in the pot. If there is water in the pot, it should be drained as soon as possible.
