I’m Zen, the Japanese Elm or Zelkova, and native to Japan and Eastern China. I’m known for my fine-toothed leaves, graceful lines and attractive bark. I do best in full to partial sun conditions. You can water me once every 7-10 days, or more it it’s really hot.
To water, submerge my pot in water up to the rim for 20 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Although I’m an outdoor plant, I can acclimate to indoor conditions with proper ventilation and light. Keep the window open or put me outside on nice days. In winter, keep me in a cool location far from heaters. If outdoors, protect me well from the winter winds.
Symbolism: Elm is associated with strength, wisdom, will, and intuition. Its growth habits portray a reliable, stable tree, and it provides a lot of second chances if you make a mistake.
