Bonsai of Acer palmatum deshojo (Maple), a deciduous species, known for its palmate leaves with vibrant seasonal tones. The bright red foliage turns deep red to orange-red in autumn and sheds its leaves in winter. Cultivated in a two-plant style, it has two trunks, creating a dynamic and well-balanced balance. The oval light blue glazed stoneware pot, creates a refined contrast with the color of the foliage, elegantly enhancing the composition.
Protect the foliage from the intense summer sun, while exposing it to the sun in autumn to intensify the color of the leaves. In winter, it is best to protect the root system from frost, especially when grown in very shallow pots or with exposed roots.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water abundantly. Then wait for the soil to dry before watering again in the same way.
