Product Overview
Whether you are new to keeping bonsai, or you are a seasoned collector, adding an Acer Palmatum to your collection is a must.
It’s delicate shaped leaves, which change colour with the amount of natural light throughout the season, are the main attraction of these deciduous trees.
To keep your tree happy and healthy follow the few simple but important guidelines below.
1. Never let this plant dry out.
2. Good natural daylight, without direct sun, especially during the midsummer months.
The leaves on your tree might lose their colour and become more green if they do not have enough daylight as this adds chlorophyll to their leaves.
3. Feed your bonsai with a good bonsai feed according to the instructions during the spring and summer, stop feeding the end of September.
4. Winter care for your Maple ? continue to keep it moist even as it loses its leaves. Keep it somewhere frost free, a cold greenhouse or unheated conservatory.
The harsh British winds in the winter can damage it’s young branches therefore shelter is important while the tree sleeps (natural dormancy)
