Spring buds are delicate, autumn leaves are gorgeous - which has higher ornamental value?
The beauty of a maple bonsai when its new leaves first unfurl is truly lovely: at that time the red maple is red as agate, while the trident maple is so green it seems about to drip. Follow Aimu Bonsai, and play with bonsai together with Aimu. As time goes on, the leaves gradually grow larger and age, and their ornamental value is far inferior to that of the new leaves of early spring.
This is mainly done by defoliation, that is, removing all the leaves in summer. Both before and after defoliation, fertilizer should be applied, and water should be sprayed frequently to restore the tree's vigor. Follow Aimu Bonsai, and play with bonsai together with Aimu. In this way, about 20 days after defoliation, a spring scene of fresh green or a tree of vermilion red will appear before your eyes once again.
Red maple can be made, according to the shape of the stump, into bonsai of different styles such as the formal upright style, slanting style, curved-trunk style, waterside style, and cascade style; Follow Aimu Bonsai, and play with bonsai together with Aimu. Several plants can also be planted together in one pot to make bonsai in the double-trunk style, triple-trunk style, and forest style. When making a forest-style bonsai, plants of differing heights and sizes should be selected and planted in groups, and accompanied by rocks, moss and other accessories to express the artistic conception of "a maple forest drunk with color."
Red maple likes a warm, humid environment and ample but soft sunlight; it fears harsh sun exposure and is not drought-tolerant. During the growing season it can be kept in a spot without direct sunlight, and especially avoid the western sun; during the high temperatures of summer, even more care must be taken to prevent harsh sun exposure, and it can be placed under a shade canopy or in the shade of other plants, otherwise the leaves will scorch and drop. Water frequently to keep the potting soil moist, but do not let water accumulate, so as to avoid root rot. When the air is dry, sprinkle water on the plant and its surroundings to increase air humidity and make the leaf color lustrous.
