I just purchased a chinese elm sapling(?) from a nursery. I'm not sure of his age. I live in an apartment so I can't plant him into the ground to let him grow that way. Would I gradually move up in pot size through out the years? And how do I know when it is appropriate to do so? I have a back patio were he sits to get lots of sun and I water him when his soil gets semi-dry. Also I'm not sure when I should start pruning or feeding him. Any advice is appreciated. Picture included. He has a lot more growth now.

Two years, maybe.

Yes, but it is going to take long.

And how do I know when it is appropriate to do so?

Repot yearly the next few years. Check the guidelines for when to repot.

Look up the guidelines for feeding and for pruning. Pruning should be focused on growing a good trunk, with proper tapering. Read the basics on this site, and Google how to grow a trunk. One site that discusses this: but there are more.

Thanks for the info.
