In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best time to clean your koi pond is at the beginning of spring, when the pond has started to thaw from the winter. Try to plan for an annual pond clean at the beginning of spring when the weather starts to warm up, your koi become more active, and the water is not yet full of bacteria and algae. You can do a fall cleaning if you are not able to clean the pond during the spring. In the fall, your pond may become full of fallen leaves and debris as the trees change, so you may think about doing a clean. However, you should try to maintain the koi pond during the spring, summer, and fall so the once a year clean is easier to do. Get the pond ready for draining and washing by using the skimmer net to remove any debris on the pond's surface. Try to scoop out all the leaves, branches, and twigs floating on the surface. This will make draining and cleaning the pond easier. You can use the pond pump to drain the water. Make sure you send the water into an area of your yard that has good drainage. Pumping out the water will make it easier to clean the sludge and debris at the bottom of the tank. As you pump out the water, make sure you leave about one foot of water at the bottom of the pond so your fish can swim around. You can then leave your koi in the pond as you wash the pond and clean out any debris. You may decide to leave the koi in the pond if your pond is large and you do not want to deal with taking out all the koi. If you decide to remove your koi from the pond, you should pump out about one foot of water into the holding container meant for your fish. This way, you can transfer the fish into the container in water that they are used to swimming in to avoid shocking them. If you have a small koi pond and you want to give it a complete clean, you can remove your koi from the pond. This is a messy task, so you should wear old clothing and be prepared to get your hands dirty. Use the skimmer net to scoop the koi out and place them gently in the holding container of pond water. Once you have all the koi in the container, you should cover the container with netting or a breathable lid so the koi do not jump out. Place the container in a shaded area in your yard, away from sunlight. This will ensure the koi stay healthy and happy while you clean the pond. You should give the pond pump a rinse with the pond water and run the filter through the pond water until it is clean if the pump is not self cleaning. Do not use tap water to clean the filter, as this can destroy the good bacteria in the filter. You should also take out all water accessories in the pond, like water plants or water features. You can then place the plants in a shaded area of your yard and cover them with newspaper to protect them. You should place underwater plants in a container of clean water. If you have any water features in your pond that are made of non-natural materials, such as plastic items, you can use a toothbrush to scrub and clean them so they are ready to go back into the pond once it is clean. Once you have emptied out the pond, you can take a one hour break and let the sun dry out any newly exposed algae in the pond. This will make it easier for you to get rid of debris and algae once you actually wash out the pond.
Summary: Clean the pond in the spring. Scoop out debris on the surface of the pond. Drain the pond. Remove the koi if your pond is small. Take out the pond pump and any water accessories. Let the sun dry the empty pond for one hour.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Ideally, the tree should be kept in temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius (60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit). During the summer, you can usually keep the bonsai outdoors. You'll need to bring it indoors once temperatures start dropping below 15 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day and 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) during the night. During the winter months, it might actually help the tree if it is consistently kept between temperatures of 10 and 15 degrees Celsius (50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit). These temperatures are low enough to send the tree into dormancy but high enough to prevent the tree from dying. Place the bonsai in a spot that receives direct sunlight in the morning and indirect sunlight or shade in the afternoon. Morning sunlight isn't too intense, but direct sunlight in the afternoon can be too strong and may burn the leaves of the bonsai, especially during the summer months. If you decide to move an indoor bonsai outdoors, let it acclimate to direct sunlight slowly to prevent the leaves from burning. Keep it in the sun for longer periods of time day after day until it seems strong enough to spend an entire day in the sun. Sunlight also encourages the leaves of the Chinese elm to stay smaller. Keep the Chinese elm in an indoor or outdoor area that receives plenty of air flow. When keeping the bonsai inside, place it in front of an open window or place a small fan nearby to increase the amount of air movement. While air circulation is good for the bonsai, you should also note that cold drafts and winds can cause damage. When you keep it outside, position it behind a taller plant or structure to help protect it against nasty gusts.
Summary:
Keep the bonsai in a warm location. Provide plenty of morning sunlight. Maintain good air circulation.
