The size, colour and shape of the pot may vary depending on availability.
Working plant of Acer buergerianum, a slow-growing deciduous species prized for its grey bark that flakes with time and the beautiful autumn colouring of its leaves, which turn from yellow to red. It has a branched form and a neat habit, making it ideal to be grown as a bonsai. Hardy and easy to shape, it is a perfect choice for bonsai enthusiasts. It is grown in a square black plastic pot.
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.
