Japanese Elm Zelkova serrata I’m Zen, the Japanese Elm and native to Japan and Eastern China. I’m known for my graceful lines and attractive bark. Elm is the tree of harmony; I symbolize inner strength, intuition, and wisdom. I like full sun or bright indirect sun. To water, submerge my pot in water for 15 minutes. Submerge about once every 5 days. I benefit from good air circulation, near a fan or open window. In winter, keep me in a cooler location far from heaters and near a humidifer if the apartment gets very dry. Keep me in temperatures between 50-80 ̊F. You can give me a big haircut twice a year to keep me from getting too long and leggy. I'll sit and meditate with you.
