Вставка

- 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:

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:

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

I'm in love with these well addicted my garden is full and making more buy cuttings. I have a bonsai on my bedside table with a dedicated hydroponics system. Amazing trees
What kind of hydro system / bonsai tree do you have ?
Beautiful trees! Thanks for showing. 👍 🙂
Your garden is beautiful.
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 :)
Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea
Thank you! Cheers!
Pohon yang luar biasa cantik 👍
Salam satu hobi 🤝🙏🌲🌲🇲🇨
very helpful thanks
You're welcome!
How did u thickened the tree trunk....is it done by cutting technique or through out the time it thickened
Nice
Oh,There have a nice squirrel~
Very nice
Pruning when shoots extend to 5 leaves? Aren't JM opposite leaved? So it'd be 4 or 6? You don't advocate pinching?
Oh most definitely! Here's a lot more info: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/maple

Wow very beautiful.super
Any fertilizer you recommend for maple pines and junipers?
I personally use biogold a lot, and like it. Theres cheaper alternatives available though, it doesnt matter all that much.
I know maple trees like acidic water but at the place we live, the tap water is hard with calcium. What should I do to make the water suitable for my potted maple tree?
Perhaps ask on our forum at www.bonsaiempire.com/forum
Oak leaf wanted in !
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? :)
Yes, outdoor - but protected from extreme temperatures for sure. An unheated greenhouse in colder areas for example would be ideal.
I understand that propagating JM from cuttings is very difficult. I've tried it myself with 100% failure. Has anyone succeeded?
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
@@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?
@@peterboneg bonsai empire has a video where William Valavanis describes various maples cultivars. He talks about propagation as well, apparently there’s differences between cultivars.

For the right timing I am sure an in depth google search will give results. Plenty of bonsai forums where the topic has been covered. Good luck! 👍
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.
I've had success with semihardwood cuttings (current year's growth that has begun to turn woody) taken in summer.
Hello, i have this kind of bonsai, and i need to know if i can take care of it indoor. Thank you kindly!
No, the maple can not be kept indoors.
After two months the maple is okay. Even if it was very hot outside and inside the apartment, I gave it alot of water and he's still alive 😁
@@woody1947 definitely not alive anymore if you kept it inside lol
How’s the bonsai doing? I want one but I don’t want to get one if it won’t survive indoors.
@@20beto06 still good 😁
so beutiful

Hello, I recently bought a Beni chidori Maple and when I received it I verified that the leaves are completely green. Is this normal this color at the beginning of June? Thank you
I live in Calgary where the outdoor temperature is hot and dry during summer and extreme cold during winter. Should I still place my potted maple tree outdoors?
Well it will need some winter protection for sure; www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/overwintering
Calgary is awesome for bonsai…they love the dry air!!! Definitely needs protection over the cold winter!!! I’ll put my Japanese maple near the window in the garage over the winter time
when you talk about maples being watered each day in growing season is this maple that's have a good roots system or just all maples Japanese's in Pot's
The substrate used is most important here. Perhaps read more: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/watering
Nice 😇👍
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.
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.
What will happen if you put the Bonsai inside?
It will slowly deteriorate and eventually die.
What about root pruning?
the top of my maple has yet to sprout leaves....is this normal?
Its a deciduous tree so it will leaf out in spring - if it doesn't your top might have died in winter?
Hi I want to make in india.
