  • In this video we explain how to care for your Japanese Maple Bonsai tree, also known as the Acer palmatum. Watering, pruning, fertilizing - all these topics are discussed. Keeping a Maple Bonsai alive is not a difficult task, but there are a few things you should be aware of. For more information, also check:
    www.bonsaiempi...
    Bonsai trees are planted in small pots with minimal space for water and nutrient reserves. That means you need to water and fertilize your tree regularly. Make sure your Bonsai gets plenty of light, water, and fertilize when needed and your tree is sure to thrive!
    If you are not entirely sure about your tree species, you can use this guide to ID your Bonsai:

    If you want to learn more about Bonsai, consider enrolling in one of our Online Bonsai Courses. For the curriculums and free lectures, go to:

    This video was filmed in the Japanese garden of Clingendael. We also like to thank Deshima Bonsai.

    Great video and advice. I have recently started growing JM's from cuttings. I might try from seed also in the future. I made a short video on my YT channel showing my first Acer Palmatum cuttings I took in late March. I have 12 which made it through summer. I have a few other varieties now taken a few days ago also which I showed at the end. Happy Growing :)

    I have been growing Acer Palmatum from seed since December and they are doing well. Would you still recommend growing young seedlings outdoors? Even during the winter months? :)

    • @bonsaiempire
      @bonsaiempire  3 года назад +2

      Yes, outdoor - but protected from extreme temperatures for sure. An unheated greenhouse in colder areas for example would be ideal.

    Pruning when shoots extend to 5 leaves? Aren't JM opposite leaved? So it'd be 4 or 6? You don't advocate pinching?

    I understand that propagating JM from cuttings is very difficult. I've tried it myself with 100% failure. Has anyone succeeded?

    • @bonsaiempire
      @bonsaiempire  3 года назад

      Hi Peter! It's not too hard but the seasonal timing is crucial - the Japanese maple can easily be propagated by planting seeds, cuttings, or air layering in the summer. Some more info can be found here: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/maple

    • @peterboneg
      @peterboneg 3 года назад

      @@bonsaiempire Thanks, although that page didn't give any more details on the timing or techniques used. I have successfully rooted cuttings of other species. I've heard other people say that JM are very difficult to root from cuttings. Peter Chan has a video about it and seems to have some success though. I wonder if the success rate varies with cultivar? Have you succeeded yourself and with which cultivars?

      Good question. I have grown them from cuttings - but I believe most Maples are actually air-layered. This would be done in late summer to autumn (or otherwise early spring, but I have never tried this time of year myself) and also aids in creating a balanced Nebari.

      Its a deciduous tree so it will leaf out in spring - if it doesn't your top might have died in winter?

  • @Benw3790
    @Benw3790 3 года назад

    It only showed watering the leaves. Beginners will just water the canopy, rather than the soil. Also, watering the foliage can cause a lot of fungal problems.

    • @bonsaiempire
      @bonsaiempire  3 года назад

      Hi Ben! Around 1:35 the tree is watered quite thoroughly - that is how we do it. Some of the water definitely spills around the tree, but more than enough hits the soil. We actually usually water a second time a minute or so later. Either way, you need to make sure the soil gets more than enough water indeed - you make a good point.
