Acer japonicum, commonly known as the Full Moon Maple or Downy Japanese Maple, is a deciduous tree native to Japan and parts of Korea. It is known for its beautiful, rounded leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall. This tree prefers temperate climates and can grow up to 10 meters tall. It undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Acer japonicum thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. The tree enjoys moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme temperatures and strong winds.
Bodem
This tree prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied in the spring and early summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the tree.
Verpotten
Young trees can be repotted every 2-3 years, while mature trees can be repotted every 3-5 years. Repotting should be done in early spring before new growth begins. Ensure the new pot has good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix.
Voortplanting
Acer japonicum can be propagated by seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Seeds should be sown in the fall, while cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer. Grafting is usually done in late winter or early spring.
Snoeien
Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation and light penetration.
Toxiciteit
Acer japonicum is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is best to keep it out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.
Aanvullend
Mulching around the base of the tree can help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Avoid planting Acer japonicum in areas with heavy clay soil or poor drainage.
