Acer buergerianum - Maple - 30 cm
Maple bonsai characterized by a height without pot of 24,5 cm, trunk size of 1,5 cm and nebari of 7,5 cm. The plant is grown in a round glazed stoneware pot measuring Ø11,5xH5,5 cm.
This bonsai of Acer buergerianum (maple) is a deciduous species, prized for its distinctive foliage that changes colour as the seasons progress. During spring and summer its leaves are bright green, while in autumn they turn shades of red and orange, until the bonsai tree sheds its leaves in winter. Grown in a round dark blue glazed stoneware pot, it brings out the bright green of the leaves and perfectly matches the refined look of the bonsai.
Protect the foliage from the strongest summer sun; expose the bonsai to the sun in autumn to intensify the foliage's color. In winter, it's best to protect the root system from frost, especially when grown in very shallow pots or with exposed roots.
Always observe the wet-dry cycle: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water thoroughly. Then wait until the soil dries out before watering again.
