Well I appreciate the fact that they put the soil components right there on the package. An excellent solution if you live in an area that doesn't have access to the materials. For example, I can get red lava pretty cheap, but not black lava. I don't think there is a functional difference... but black lava looks cooler

terra gardens in Salem sells bonsai soil that is DE/Pumice/Lava. (make sure you sift it tho!)

We are on the verge of a soil war here.

Haha, well I'm open to all suggestions. I will probably do what I do with recipes, read a ton of them and take from each what I think will work for me.

I am happy to report that my elm is growing like a weed, it's been less than a week and I already see new growth.
At the nursery I bought it at, it was getting filtered sun and in a quite humid indoor/outdoor room. It's been in full sun since a day or two ago. I think it's happier with all the sun it's getting.
It's normal for new leaves to come in slightly red-green, right?

I have been noticing lately if my wife is driving she speeds up anytime we get near a nursery. She may be trying to tell me something...
I will happily wait here until the day you say "You know what? You were right!"
The first step in recovery is acknowledging... you have a problem. I have over 100 trees... and maybe 200 if I stopped to count. I know people who have over 600
I got into bonsai because I can fit more trees in my over-planted yard! 100 is within reach.

I had a few old leaves turn yellow and drop off but new growth is still emerging. I've been watering almost daily except the days where it's overcast and humid. The soil was still damp so I didn't water it those days.
I read that this might be heat stress. It was overcast and humid for a couple days and then boom yesterday was hot and dry. I didn't see the yellow leaves until this morning.
Any ideas for what's going on?

This is normal mine always seem to be dropping a few old leaves here and there.

Aren't there any clubs or associations near where you live?
I mean, B-Nut is a very valuable source of info (and the rest
) but you'll learn ten times faster if you join a group of bonsai enthusiasts.
It can be worth an hour's drive once or twice in a month. Really.

Until then, I thought I could ask questions here and share my enthusiasm for my new hobby. Thanks for making me feel like I can't

Pictures are always helpful - and oftentimes necessary - in order to properly diagnose the problem
Is it the leaves on the inside of the shoot/branch, i.e. closest to the trunk? Sometimes mine will do this if I let it go too long without pruning. If it’s healthy it will backbud readily once you shorten the shoot appropriately.
