Baby Acer palmatum Sapling Care. Advice needed!
Comments (4)Hmm,I would've thought you're living in the best place to get advice Lol. I'll start the ball rolling to hopefully get more responses but must admit I've never grown an acer indoors.I don't think these plants are normally grown indoors unless you're gonna go down the bonsai route(of which I know nothing)They have the capablitiy to become a 10m tree and you will need to put it outside or at least a cold shed for the winter to induce dormancy(they need the rest)It may be possible to keep it indoors whilst small but even with pruning I think eventually it will be struggling for enough light(and space ha) Anyway,yes put it in a pot,the roots don't want to be exposed to open air,mildy acidic-neutral free draining medium.If you have a sunnier window that may help with the lighting it'll need when it gets bigger.The temp. is fine.Snip those shrivelled leaves at the top of the leaf stalk,you may or may not get a new leaf grow there.As I said unless you're going to dwarf this plant it will grow a lot bigger so the wire may be a waste of time. Sorry I can't help you more as it's unknown territory to me,but hopefully this'll spurn more replies...good luck!...See MoreBloodgood Acer Palmatum leaves turning brown

Comments (9)Hmm. Mine, also in Maryland, gets full sun. It needs quite a bit of water not to curl and burn. I have 'Lozita' 'Red Crusader' 'Sherwood Flame' 'Maiku Jaku' 'Pacific Sprite' 'Okagami' 'Emperor 1' 'Trompenburg' 'Fireglow' 'Autrolinaere (SP?)' 'Corillium' 'Inaba Shidare' 'Sangu kaku' 'Shania' and a bunch others in extremely full sun. Sorry about some of the spellings. I'm tired & haven't the energy to correct myself. I find the shrub maples not to give a darn about my horrendous drought and sun. If they can survive here, they can survive up there....See MoreAcer Palmatum not thriving
Comments (1)"In California, consider the local soil and water; wherever azaleas are difficult to grow and suffer from salt buildup in the soil, Japanese maples will show burn on leaf edges. Give same watering treatment as azaleas -- flood occasionally to leach out salts." - Sunset 'Western Garden Book'...See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
