The Japanese maple (Acer Palmatum 'Starfish') is one of the most fascinating ornamental plants for gardens and terraces. It owes its name to the extraordinary shape of its leaves: deeply incised, bent downwards, and in an elegant star shape reminiscent of the arms of a starfish. This rare structure makes the maple an exclusive highlight for any garden. In spring and summer, the leaves shine in a rich, deep red hue, which becomes even more intense in autumn – a true color magic that bathes your garden in warm, radiant shades. The maple grows upright and forms a beautiful, vase-like crown with age, which looks particularly noble. 🌿 Location & Care: The 'Starfish' maple prefers semi-shaded to sunny locations, ideally protected from strong winds. It can be cultivated both in the bed and in a plant pot. In the garden, it thrives in moist, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil. High-quality universal potting soil is suitable for pot culture. Regular but moderate watering keeps the soil evenly moist – waterlogging should be avoided. Pruning is rarely necessary, as the plant develops a naturally harmonious growth. If required, light pruning can be done in summer or December. The Acer Palmatum 'Starfish' is fully hardy and loses its leaves in winter before shining again in new splendor in spring. 🍂
