Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly benefit plant growth. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant at planting time determines the number of plants per square metre.

Pruning a Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku'

Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku' benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and health. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps remove any dead, crossing, or protruding 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 maintenance ensures the plant remains a striking feature in the garden with its vibrant seasonal colours.

Watering a Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku'

The Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers a generous amount of water when needed, rather than frequent small amounts. This helps the roots absorb moisture more effectively. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, check the soil regularly to ensure it is not too dry. Well-drained soil is essential, allowing excess water to escape, preventing root rot. Using collected rainwater is beneficial. Initially, water directly at the base until the plant is well-rooted, as drip irrigation systems are more effective later. This plant is not highly drought-resistant, so consistent monitoring is key.

Fertilising a Acer palmatum 'Sangokaku'

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. After application, water the garden to help nutrients reach the roots, especially during dry spells. This practice ensures the plant thrives in well-drained soil and partial shade or sun.
