Acer pseudoplatanus - B5115
€65.00
VAT included
Native to Central and Southern Europe, Acer pseudoplatanus, commonly known as the Sycamore Maple, is a vigorous and hardy species widely used in bonsai for its resilience and the ornamental beauty of its palmate leaves. The leaves are large, five-lobed, and dark green in spring and summer, turning yellow or golden in autumn. Its wood is hard, and the tree adapts well to many bonsai styles, especially informal upright.
Sunlight: Prefers full sun for healthy growth but tolerates partial shade. In hot climates, protect from intense afternoon sun.
Watering: Requires regular watering to keep the soil slightly moist. Avoid prolonged drought, as leaf tips may scorch.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate humidity. Occasional misting can be beneficial in dry environments.
Pruning: Structural pruning should be carried out in late winter. During the growing season, pinch back new shoots to control vigour and reduce leaf size.
Fertilization: Feed in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding in late summer.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, preferably in spring, using a well-draining substrate.
Flowering and Fruiting: Produces greenish flowers in clusters in spring, followed by paired winged samaras. In bonsai, its main ornamental value lies in the foliage and trunk structure.
