Bonsai Maple Tree

GENERAL INFORMATION

• With so many different sizes, colors, and leaf shapes, it’s hard to describe a typical maple, but without exception.
• These attractive trees with their refined growth habit are an asset to the home landscape.
• Maples are noted for their lacy, finely-cut leaves, brilliant fall color, and delicate structure.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• A high-quality substrate for bucket plants, which is enriched with compost soil, is a good choice for cultivation in a bucket.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Bucket plants need less fertilizing.
• A good complete fertilizer or some compost once a month from April to August is completely sufficient.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Full sun or partial shade.
• But planting a Japanese maple in full sun may result in scorched leaf margins on young trees in summer, especially in hot climates.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Although they do not like waterlogging, particularly young and freshly planted specimens need a lot of water.
• One reason for this is that these shrubs are flat-rooted and therefore do not reach moisture from deeper soil layers.
• This means that they can not adequately supply themselves with precious water, especially in summer.
