Should I adjust the watering frequency for my Siberian elm according to different seasons or climates?
Feedback
The Siberian elm needs outdoors come from rain, with only persistent dry weather requiring watering. Throughout the spring and fall growing seasons, the soil needs to be kept moist but not soggy, and alternating dry and moist soil conditions will allow the Siberian elm to grow well. Throughout the summer, hot weather can cause water to evaporate too quickly, and if there is a lack of rainfall, you will need to water more frequently and extra to keep it moist. Usually, the Siberian elm will need less water during the winter. Since the Siberian elm will drop their leaves and go dormant, you can put them into a well-draining but moisture-retentive soil mixture like the terracotta to help the water evaporate quicker. Once your Siberian elm growing outdoors begins to leaf out and go dormant, you can skip watering altogether and in most cases Siberian elm can rely on the fall and winter rains to survive the entire dormant period. After the spring, you can cultivate your Siberian elm and encourage it to grow and bloom when the temperature becomes warmer.This plant is not generally a fan of ponding or drought when flowering. You must ensure that the drainage is good at all times, especially during the winter. When the plant is in a pot, the plant has limited root growth. Keep them well-watered, especially if they are planted in pots during summer. They don't like cold and wet roots, so provide adequate drainage, especially if they are still growing. It's always best to water your Siberian elm’s diligently. Get the entire root system into a deep soak at least once or twice a week, depending on the weather. It's best to avoid shallow sprinkles that reach the leaves since they generally encourage the growth of fungi and don't reach deep into the roots. Don't allow the Siberian elm’s to dry out completely in the fall or winter, even if they are already dormancy. Don't drown the plants because they generally don't like sitting in water for too long. They can die during winter if the soil does not drain well. Also, apply mulch whenever possible to reduce stress, conserve water, and encourage healthy blooms.

A species of Elms, also known as Smooth-leaved elm, Dwarf elm
Botanical name: Ulmus pumila
Genus: Elms
Description
Siberian elm is a deciduous plant recently introduced to Southern Europe from Asia. The plant rapidly resprouts from its roots and is considered invasive. It is planted to break winds and control soil erosion. The plant is quite hardy and can grow in soils that are saline or polluted.
Garden Use
The Ulmus species of Ulmaceae consists of deciduous and semi-deciduous trees that are found in most parts of the northern hemisphere. A natural component of many forests, several varieties were planted for ornamental purposes in the streets, gardens, and parks of Europe, North America, and parts of the southern hemisphere in the 19th and early 20th centuries., Siberian elm is highly adaptable, making it suitable for a variety of gardens, including those consisting mostly of pavilions and rocks. Trees can be used as shade trees, street trees or bonsai, with an exquisite ornamental effect. Siberian elm is the most suitable tree species for arid areas, due to their drought-resistance.
