The need of sunlight for Japanese maple trees

Experts in the field of Japanese maple tree always stress the basic need of the plant, the sunlight. They have very solid reasoning behind this modest demand, and argue that the appropriate sunlight plays very vital role in the vibrant colors of these charming trees. Some expert even go further and claim that appropriate sunlight plays the ultimate role in maintaining the wonderful colors of this specie. But all of these claims do not forget to mention that these plants do require sunlight but in a suitable amount. Sunlight if provided in the prescribed way can greatly change the personality of the plant. The color scheme varies with the amount of sunlight received by the plant.

If you are planting the maple tree in a hot region which is known for its scorching sunlight then merely the sunlight of morning can be suitable for the plant. The delicate leaves of the Japanese maple tree cannot tolerate excessive heat. And a direct encounter with the high temperature can reduce the vibrancy of colors and in some cases can even burn the leaves. For this reason most of the people in hot regions grow them inside the buildings. But there are some alternatives that can be adopted if someone wishes to grow them in the garden. Shading is used in many cases to avoid direct sunlight. This mechanism is famous for its flexibility as it allows the gardener to remove the shade in the morning so that tree can receive required sunlight and in the afternoon when sunlight is not tolerable this shade can block the undesirable encounter. This proves to be a very handy tool in the hot regions.

If buying a shade seems over burden on the pocket, then an appropriate site can save the money. A bunch of taller trees of different species can create the required shade for the Japanese maple but this option has a downside as well, as the plant has to compete with many plants for the resources. Moreover a taller building can provide the appropriate shade and can solve this problem. You must have noticed these shades do not have the flexibility that is associated with the artificial shading tools, which is again a tradeoff you have to consider before going for any of the two options. More often people who can afford a partial shading tool usually go for this excellent opportunity to save the time and this really adds the flexibility in choosing any kind of site suitable to the home or office.

Complete shading is only required in some cases, most of all when the tree cannot tolerate any encounter with the sunlight. In these cases it is preferred to place the plant indoor, this will not only add the glamour to the interior of building but eventually it will protect the plant as well. There has always been a trend of placing the Japanese maple tree inside the grand halls and corridors which exalt the environment and the sparking colors can compete with any astonishing piece of art. Most of the time this is achieved through the use of large pots and trays which can easily manage to handle such beauty in them. There are many varieties available which are of small heights and can easily adapt themselves in to any indoor environment. A regular pruning will keep them in accordance to the ambiance of home or office.

This emphasis on the shading is due to the plant?s consistent need of moisturizer. Too much heat can take away the essential moisturizer from the tree which can lead to undesirable state. For this reason in the regions where climate is known for its severity of heat, a proper arrangement of moisturizing is almost indispensable as oxygen. By keeping the proper arrangement you can enjoy the full glory of these innocent colorful Japanese maple in every season. The only thing you need to understand in the end is that there charm certainly deserve some extra bit of attention towards their safety.

The other confusion is the naming convention used for these Japanese maples, and now in the market you will find the same tree with two names, one English the other off course its native Japanese name. This sometime bring confusions in the mind of buyer, first of all the Japanese names don?t tell much about the plant if you do not know the Japanese which is the case in most of the ventures. Even the use of multiple names can sometime cause problems to the native Japanese as well. Increasingly on the online stores the vendors are using bilingual names to cope this problem. This is proving to be a good approach to this problem, as this can be helpful for the natives and the others equally and by refining this technique further better results can easily be drawn.

A uniform system will really help the people to buy what they actually meant to buy. A wrong choice doesn?t only affects the monitory issue but the consequent loss of time and energy will ruin the experience of these beautiful trees.

How to change the pot of Japanese maple trees

As with every plant that grows in a pot it becomes rudimentary to change the pot after couple of years, this is true in the case of Japanese maple tree as well. The potted trees are often placed inside the home and offices, and the pot itself plays an important role in the aesthetic aspect of the plant because often the tree is placed inside the buildings as a centre of attraction. The change in the color scheme of the environment can sometime become the reason behind changing the pot of the tree. Moreover hygienically it is desired to change the pot as it can easily become a hideout of contaminated items.

The change will give a new look to the same old maple tree which actually will freshen the environment as well. Experts suggest that the ideal time for this procedure is the middle of spring season. The wisdom behind this act is explained by the gardeners by stating the fact that it is better to change the pot before the emergence of new leaves. There are some simple instructions that are required to be followed to successfully achieve the end results. Moisture plays a vital role for the Japanese maple trees, as the change in the pot will involve the soil to be kept in open air for some time and this can cause the dehydration for the lovely tree. To avoid such situation the plant should be watered regularly before going for such a venture.

The new soil should be fertile enough to fulfill the growing needs of the Japanese maple trees. It is a well known fact that the ideal soil for these trees is of acidic or neutral nature as they cannot tolerate the alkaline soil comfortably. The new soil should confirm these essential requirements so that change may bring favorable results instead of trouble.

Another important factor to keep in mind is that Japanese maple trees are not known for their tolerance for over dosage of water. An over dose can severely damage the root system which eventually will leave the tree with extreme problems. The pot plays a vital role in the drainage of the water, so all the expert recommend that the change in pot is a good opportunity to place some stones at the base of the pot to achieve the safety measure.
The maple tree should be pulled out of the pot avoiding any damage to the leaves and bark. The more gently you will complete the process the more smoothly the plant will pull out from the pot. Hold the base of the tree to achieve greater control over the complete tree. Place some stones in the new pot and make a layer of the soil to cover these stones. This will ensure the optimal drainage of the water from the pot. Place the tree gently in the new pot, and try to achieve the same altitude of soil as it used to have in the old pot.

Now it is time to fill the pot completely with the new soil. The process of changing the pot ends here but for couple of weeks it should be kept under observation for any unusual event. The new soil should be watered regularly to keep the moisturizing level at a desirable state. If you notice any change in the color of leaves apart from the usual transition then it should not be taken lightly as this might have something to do with the new soil or pot.

Diseases the Japanese maple tree can face

Any plant passionate should keep in mind that plants are like any other living organism. They can get disease if proper care is not shown towards them. Japanese maple trees can catch some known diseases, but this mostly happens due to some negligence, there is no evidence that suggest that these plants have some track record of genetic ailments. The plant responds back to the any problem either through losing its vibrancy or through other indications. These indicators should not be taken lightly as they are the signs for much bigger trouble ahead.

The most common indication that the plant has caught some ailment is that it starts to wilt and there can be several different reasons behind this symptom ranging from tainted seed, heat stroke, or extra moisturizer in the environment. Most of the time wilting indicates that the water ducts that carry the water to all parts of it have got damaged and as a result the water does not reach to the leaves which then start to lose their vigor. You should not act in a knee jerk fashion to this problem, as sometimes a wrong cure can worsen the whole situation.
Try to analyze where things have gone wrong, what type of negligence you have shown in the past few days.

Knowing where you went wrong solves half of the problem, now after realizing the problem now apply the specific remedy action to fully solve the problem. All the required actions should be taken quickly as unnecessary prolong process can make the situation less likely to cure. After applying the appropriate remedy, try to remove the infected leaves as they can initiate the problem in the future. This can be done in the weekly pruning of the plant to save some time.

Make a habit to provide moisturizers to the plant as clearly many problems arise due to lack of it. You can achieve the required level of moisturizing if you have decided to water the plant on a regular basis.

Pests

There are some known pests that usually feed themselves with the liquid of the plant tissue. As the often camouflage, so it is hard for a naked eye to catch their site. A closer inspection of leaves can reveal their presence on the leaves. This is the reason that the experts suggest closer inspection of the leaves once in a month to avoid such free riders. Once a leaf is infected by these bugs then it usually takes few weeks to show any indication that some alien element is sharing its resources.

Early identification of these bugs can save the leave from total destruction. If the plant is left unnoticed then it is a well known fact that these bugs multiply rapidly and over a very small period of time they will spread across all the leaves of the tree. At that stage they take full control over the resources of the tree and sooner they become a bigger problem for the life of the tree. There are some pesticides available in the market, but they can be useful in the earlier stage of the problem, as statistics reveal that over the period of time it becomes less probable for the tree to sustain. But still if you notice some of them on the leaves then try to analyze complete tree for their presence. If they are present on couple of leaves only then try to remove these leaves immediately.

If you notice that the situation is becoming out of control, then you can ask for professional help that is always available in the nearby nursery. They either will suggest some pesticide or any other appropriate method to solve this problem. As the old golden proverb says, prevention is better than cure, so this is true for this case as well and if you can manage to inspect the leave every once in a while then such encounter with pests can easily be avoided.
