I’m Zen, the Chinese Elm, native to Japan and Eastern China. I’m known for my fine-toothed leaves, graceful lines and attractive bark. In winter I lose leaves but I'm a prolific grower in spring and summer, and provide lots of pruning options.

I do best in full to partial sun conditions. You can water me once every 5-7 days, or more it it’s really hot or dry. To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. I benefit from good air circulation so keep me in a room with a fan or open window. In winter, keep me in a cool location far from heaters and drafts. It's best if my winter home is a little cooler - around 60-65F. 

Symbolism: As a Wood element tree in Feng Shui, the Chinese Elm conveys balance and stability. Its 'Zhen' Chi makes it an auspicious choice for the ability to attract positive energy, promoting success and good fortune in various parts of life. 

Includes basic care instructions. We always recommend doing more research as each environment-- and tree!-- is unique. Plate sold separately.
