Maintenance
Position: Place your maple bonsai outdoors all year round. Choose a bright spot with plenty of natural light, but protect it from strong midday sun and harsh winds. Morning sun and light afternoon shade are ideal.
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist. Water thoroughly when the top layer of compost begins to feel slightly dry. During warmer months, this may mean watering daily. Never allow the bonsai to dry out completely, and avoid letting it sit in standing water.
Feeding: Feed your bonsai with a balanced bonsai fertiliser from spring through early autumn. Reduce feeding in late autumn and stop during winter.
Pruning & Shaping: Light pruning helps maintain shape and encourages finer growth. Trim new shoots during the growing season once they develop several pairs of leaves. Avoid heavy pruning in late autumn or winter.
Winter Care: Japanese Maple bonsai are hardy, but their roots need protection in very cold weather. Move the pot to a sheltered spot or insulate it during prolonged frost.

Bonsai Variety

Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum)A bonsai classic. Fantastic spring and autumn foliage, displaying reds, yellows, oranges and greens throughout the growing season. They require a sheltered position in the garden protected from strong winds. When pruning please allow 1-2cm for die back and do not use wire to style your maple as the bark is very delicate and scars easily. A truly beautiful bonsai.
