Japanese Maple Bonsai Care Guide

Position: It is best to avoid placing this tree under direct sunlight. More importantly, it should be placed in a nicely shaded place during the hot summer months. If your house normally does not have areas where direct sunlight pours in, then you can position your Bonsai just about anywhere.

Watering: There is no specific time for watering a Japanese Maple Bonsai; rather, you should water it when the soil is almost completely dry. Therefore, you will have to check the moisture level of the soil a few times throughout the day.

Pruning and Shaping: Most of the pruning and shaping is best done in springtime, which is the time of fastest growth for this tree. You will need to remove most of the grown parts and then shape the specimen according to the style you have previously chosen for it. Be sure to follow the general Bonsai pruning and shaping guidelines so as to ensure the continued health and beauty of your tree. Remember to trim the leaves in late spring.

Re-potting and Soil Treatment: Above everything else, remember to avoid using fertilizers that accelerate the growth of this species. Remember as well that re-potting needs to be done every two to three years and the best time to do it is early spring or late winter.
