Japanese Maple bonsai care

This is a living Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoor only: it requires a genuine winter dormancy and will decline indoors
Light: Full morning sun with light afternoon shade in summer; protect foliage above ~85 °F (30 °C) to prevent leaf scorch
Water: Keep evenly and consistently moist: never let the rootball dry out, but do not leave it waterlogged. On the "wet" side of the spectrum.
USDA zones: 5 to 8 (some cultivars tolerate 9; protect roots below zone 6 in containers)
#1 cause of death: Verticillium wilt (often introduced by dirty tools / summer pruning); also leaf scorch and root drying

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese Maple bonsai care guide.
