The Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai is one of the most dazzling bonsai trees around—a sure-to-be showstopper in your home or office. Unlike some other bonsai, this species is great for beginners, as it offers a lot of leeway in terms of care and maintenance. Its fine, delicate branches are easy to shape, making it an ideal choice for bonsai training. In the fall, the Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai’s foliage turns magnificent shades of orange, red, and gold.

Best Locations For Growing Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai

This bonsai variety makes a bright statement in the home or office and is great for a living room counter or office desk. You can also keep the plant outdoors on a patio or in the garden, though they cannot tolerate direct sunlight in the summertime. Mature trees can take short periods of freezing, but you should protect your plant from severe frost.

Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai Sunlight Requirements

These plants do well in a sunny and airy location, but this bonsai variety does not need as much sunlight as others. They do best in locations that receive morning and evening sun with dappled sunlight throughout the rest of the day. If temperatures reach 85 degrees or above, move your bonsai somewhere with indirect sunlight to avoid damage to the leaves.

Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai Care

Most bonsai, including the Japanese Maple Tree, do better outdoors than inside. They are adaptable to a variety of climates, but can only tolerate short periods of freezing temperatures. As such, make sure to protect your bonsai if you experience extended harsh freezing conditions.

Regular pruning is important for both the aesthetics and health of your bonsai. In the spring and summer, pinch back new shoots on a regular basis to help shape the tree and encourage branching. You should also actively prune leaves during the growing season to keep them small. Heavy pruning of main branches and stems should be saved for the late fall and winter.

Generally, this variety does not need to be re-potted often. When the tree reaches 10 years old, re-pot every three years. The best time to re-pot is in the spring just before buds have opened.

Watering Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai

Keep your Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai evenly moist. Water daily from mid-spring to late summer and then as needed during the winter. Never allow your plant to become waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.

Feeding Japanese Maple Tree Bonsai

Feed this bonsai variety every two weeks during the spring and summer with an organic bonsai fertilizer or liquid fertilizer. During the fall, feed with a nitrogen-free fertilizer.
