Frequently Asked Questions
How long do red maple seeds take to germinate?
The seeds first need cold stratification (4–6 weeks in the fridge). After that, they germinate within 2–6 weeks. The included instructions explain the process step by step.
Is the bonsai kit suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. The kit includes everything you need, along with clear instructions. The red maple is also relatively hardy and forgiving of small care mistakes.
Can the bonsai be kept indoors?
The red maple is actually an outdoor bonsai and thrives best on a balcony or terrace. It can stay indoors temporarily but needs sufficient light and fresh air. It tolerates light frost in winter.
How big does the bonsai get?
As a bonsai, the red maple stays compact through regular pruning — typically 20–50 cm. In nature, it would grow several metres tall. Bonsai art means controlling the size through pruning and pot selection.
When do the leaves turn red?
The red maple shows fresh red in spring, transitions to green in summer, and blazes in intense red and orange in autumn. This colour play across the seasons makes it particularly attractive.
