Grow an elegant Chinese Elm bonsai tree with these Ulmus Parvifolia seeds!
Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
- 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome
- Soil Pellets or Soil Pods
- Liquid Fertilizer
Stratification in a fridge for 2-3 weeks is recommended but optional. Plant in a greenhouse, put on a greenhouse >70F and under grow lights or by a windowsill with indirect sunlight. Make sure humidity dome has condensation, if not, the soil may need to be watered or the greenhouse needs to be moved to a warmer spot.
The seeds germinate relatively quickly, keep the seedlings well-watered and warm and once they reach ~6", you can repot them.

These seeds are for the 2026 growing season.
