How do I plant a Acer palmatum 'Shaina'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Acer palmatum 'Shaina'. This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for healthy plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. 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 determines the number of plants per square metre; for Acer palmatum 'Shaina', approximately 1 plant per m² is recommended. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of the plant.

Pruning a Acer palmatum 'Shaina'

Acer palmatum 'Shaina' benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its compact shape. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps to remove any crossing, dead, or protruding branches, promoting healthier growth. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can encourage new blooms. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant and to prevent the spread of disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its overall health and vitality.

Watering a Acer palmatum 'Shaina'

The Acer palmatum 'Shaina' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers a generous amount of water when needed, rather than small daily amounts. Watering is best done in the early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, more frequent watering may be necessary. Checking the soil is crucial to determine if watering is required; it should be moist but not waterlogged. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Using collected rainwater is beneficial. Once established, this plant can tolerate some drought, but initial watering is essential for root development.

Fertilising a Acer palmatum 'Shaina'

Fertilising Acer palmatum 'Shaina' is essential for promoting healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Regular feeding ensures the plant remains robust and displays its stunning deep red leaves. Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent root and leaf burn, which can occur with improper use of chemical fertilisers. Consider using Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, allowing the fertiliser to dissolve into the soil effectively.
