Bonsai of Acer palmatum shishigashira (maple), deciduous variety, known for its small, curled leaves. The bright green foliage turns golden yellow, orange to deep red in autumn and sheds its leaves in winter. It features a sinuous trunk that grows naturally. The arrangement of the branches across multiple levels creates a balanced and harmonious canopy, conveying both movement and stability at the same time, in full accordance with the aesthetic principles of the bonsai tradition. Cultivated in a rectangular unglazed stoneware pot, it enhances the beauty of the bonsa and gives it a dynamic and refined appearance.
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.
