The Japanese maple bonsai is also known as Acer palmatum. It is
relatively easy-to-convert into bonsai and as a result is popular
with Japanese gardeners. With delicate foliage and beautiful colours
that range from tones of gold to red, this is a very popular bonsai
plant.
Position
This is an ideal bonsai plant if you have no areas in your house
with direct sunlight. It is important that during the summer you
find a nice shade place for it.
Watering
This requires every day checking in order to make sure the soil is
not dry at the same time more water is not needed other then keeping
the soil moist at all times.
Pruning
and Sculpting
This is generally done in spring when one needs to remove most grown
parts during the last year; shape the Japanese maple bonsai
according to your style likes but also follow some guidelines for
maximum output and health. Leaves should be trimmed in late spring.
Soil Treatment and Re-potting
It is important that you do not use any fertilizers to accelerate
growth. Plus any re-potting should be done in late winter or early
spring.
All bonzai are a challenge even for those who are experienced in the
subject; if you should need further assistance seek professional
help from online site and/or professional books. Bonsai need all the
attention you can give and then some more.

best-case scenario, a major setback. Be patient with your bonsai,

the next generation as well. Your bonsai will never go out of
fashion, they are elegant and classy, and after all, have been
around for over a thousand years. Have fun experimenting with your
bonsai!
Trident - A More Hardy Maple
The trident bonsai plant is highly tolerant to
pollution and can resist great abuse in terms on impure air and even
lack of water since its roots capture and collects water for long
time usage. This is of great advantage in the summer, though in
winter, it creates a lot of problems. Since the roots capture a lot
of moisture, when it is very cold in winter the Trident Maple bonsai
faces the danger of freezing at the roots. Hence, this plant
requires special care against frost and excessive cold.
