Pruning a Acer palmatum 'Bi Hoo'

This helps remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and light penetration. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can also encourage new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also promotes vigorous growth and a more robust structure.

Watering a Acer palmatum 'Bi Hoo'

The Acer palmatum 'Bi Hoo' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers moist, humus-rich soil, so water generously when needed rather than giving small amounts daily.

Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in a pot. Once established, drip irrigation systems can be effective, but initial watering is essential for young plants. This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so consistent moisture is key.

Organic fertilisers are recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to ensure optimal health. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help the plant absorb the nutrients effectively.
