Thankyou for your opinionDisclaimer: I don’t keep Chinese Elm, I have no hands on experience with them. So take this with that in mind.
What’s your window situation? What direction do your windows face? If you have a south facing window, that would be the best place for it. As close tot he window as possible.
Ideally, all bonsai should be kept outdoors, but that’s not always possible. So we go with the next best thing; a south facing window. South is best, then west, then east, and of course north. If you don’t have a south facing window or a west facing window, a grow light will help give the tree the light it needs.
If you give the tree enough light, and water it properly and fertilize properly, your tree will survive until you can figure out something better.
People regularly keep Chinese elm indoors - it can be done.
Also, maybe check out amazon, I’ve looked before and seen plenty of clip on planters that you can attach to a window.
My window is easy facing, my plant light should be here tommorow. I’m gonna try and be hopeful. The clip on window planter is a good idea.
