    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.

    Quantity

    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.
