The dwarf Red Maple bonsai has a true auspicious nature
The plant is a charming specimen of natural beauty, but it comes with a whole lot of surprising benefits. While the dwarf Red Maple bonsai can recreate the beauty of wild deciduous forests in your garden or porch, it also spreads positivity and peace all around the place it is kept. And being an excellent air-purifying plant, it cuts down the effects of pollutants, making the air purer and healthier around you.
Transcend into peace with its peaceful colors
The plant has a refined structure that instantly livens up any dead spaces outdoors. It has a greyish-brown bark with dense red foliage that turns into stunning burgundy color during winters. These colors, along with the hand-shaped, lacey leaves that have five-pointed lobes, give the plant its most noteworthy attribute.
The dwarf Red Maple bonsai also blossoms with inconspicuous, greenish-white flowers around spring. These flowers later turn into winged seeds, further adding to the plant’s charm. To the homeowner’s delight, the plant is easy to care for and can instantly bring the delightful essence of beautiful Japanese organic parks into your very own garden.
Care instructions for your dwarf Red Maple bonsai
The plant is well-trained by skillful hands and familiar with the Indian climate, making it easier to maintain than most people think. In fact, beginners will easily be able to look after this lovely plant only by following its basic care points.
- Placement: The plant loves sunny and airy locations like gardens, backyards, and balconies. However, it is advisable to keep it under shaded outdoors to protect its leaves from getting damaged due to way too bright midday sunlight.
- Watering: Water your dwarf Red Maple bonsai once daily or on alternate days throughout the growing season. The watering frequency can be lessened during winters but make sure that the soil remains moist most of the time.
- Pruning: Regular pruning is suggested during the growing season. Cut off the woody and matured growth first to ensure new bud production. You can also defoliate the plant every other year during summer to encourage new small leaves.
- Repotting: Repot the plant after every 2 to 3 years. This should be done during spring and while making use of a fresh pot mixing.
