🌿 Plant Details

Botanical Name: Acer palmatum (Red Cultivar)

Height: ~50–65cm including growing base
Current Base: Wrapped grow-bag base (as shown)
Note: Highly recommended to repot into a proper planter after purchase for stability and long-term growth.

A rare and premium ornamental piece
Great for gifting to plant lovers and bonsai enthusiasts

💮 Feng Shui Benefits

Red foliage represents vitality, prosperity, and energy flow
Maple trees symbolize balance, beauty, and good fortune

💧 Care Requirements

Light: Bright outdoor shade / semi-shade; avoid harsh midday sun
Water: Keep soil evenly moist; do not let fully dry out
Environment: Prefers cooler, airy conditions
Maintenance: Light pruning helps maintain its bonsai form

🪴 Repotting Recommendation

The plant currently comes in a temporary grow-bag base.
For proper stability and healthy root development, we strongly recommend upgrading to a Large-eXtra Large planter, minimum internal diameter at 32cm onwards with our repotting service. This ensures better drainage, space for growth, and long-term health.

⚠️ Additional Note

Japanese Maples are generally considered safe for homes and offices. As with most ornamental plants, ingestion of leaves or bark may cause mild stomach discomfort in pets or young children, so it’s best displayed out of reach.

🪴 Repotting Recommendation

⚠️ Additional Note

How to Make Maple Leaves Turn Red

Maple leaves only turn red when environment + plant health + genetics align. The key triggers are:

1. Strong Light (Most Important)

Provide full sun or as much bright light as possible.
Red pigments (anthocyanins) develop only with high light exposure.

2. Cooler Temperatures

Red colouration strengthens when daytime is warm and nights are cool (ideally 10–18°C nights).
In tropical climates like Singapore, this is the hardest requirement to achieve.

3. Controlled Nitrogen

Too much nitrogen = more green growth, less red.
Use a balanced or low-nitrogen fertiliser during the colouring period.

4. Mild Stress (But Not Damage)

Slight drought stress can deepen colour.
Do not overdo — severe stress causes leaf drop instead of red.

How to Maintain the Red Colour

Once red, you can keep it longer by:

Maintaining high light
Keeping soil slightly on the drier side
Avoiding heavy fertiliser
Keeping the plant cool (air-conditioned balcony / cooler nights help)

Reality Check in Singapore

Maples are temperate plants.
Without cool nights, they struggle to turn fully red and maintain red long-term.

Typical outcome in SG:

Leaves may flush red when young
Colour fades to green
True autumn red rarely appears unless grown in a cooler microclimate (e.g., indoor near AC, shaded but cool courtyard, or highland conditions)

If you want the reddest colour possible in SG

Here’s the practical recipe:

Full sun in the morning; strong light all day
Keep nights cooler by placing the plant near cooler airflow or indoors at night
Use low-N fertiliser (e.g., 3-1-4 or 4-1-2 type)
Let soil dry 30–40% before watering
Do not prune heavily before colouring period

Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products

Will the plant look exactly like the photos?

Photos are for reference. Each live plant is unique in shape and foliage. Every plant is unique. Differences in leaf spread, branching, or fullness are normal. We select and supply plants as close as possible to the product description, while respecting natural variation.

For selected plants, do have inventory pictures available, in the listing above, check that for more accurate batch. We try to match size and overall form with our description

We aim to have it look display ready! We basically select the best from our growers, and trim and beautify it before sending them out to you.

However, there are cases of transportation or environmental shock when placed in your space etc. This may show up as mild stress due to transport and environment change. This is normal and improves after acclimatisation.

What pot will the plant come in?

Plants are supplied in a plastic grow pot/bag unless a decorative planter is added.

Repot or do not repot Plant?

Both options work — it really depends on how you plan to care for your plant.

Keeping the plant in its nursery (grow) pot is perfectly fine. Many customers do this for convenience and flexibility. However, nursery soil is primarily optimised for growing and transport, and over time it may become compacted or depleted of nutrients.

Repotting gives your plant a fresh start. When you choose our repotting service, we repot your plant using DTE Organic Soil, which is formulated for better drainage, airflow, nutrient balance, and healthier root development in home environments—especially indoors.

While your plant can remain in its nursery pot initially, we generally recommend repotting within the first few weeks for:

Improved long-term growth
Better root health and stability
Fresh nutrients suited for home conditions

In short: nursery pot is fine, repotting is better—especially if you’re looking to give your plant the best foundation to thrive.

Should I get them with Planters?

Think of it this way — a plant without a planter is a bit like heading out in your underwear. Perfectly functional… but not quite how you’d want to present it 😉

At Tumbleweed, planters are a big deal. They completely transform the look of a plant. A simple plant in a nursery pot is practical, but a well-chosen planter is what turns it into a proper home feature.

That said, it still comes down to how you prefer to live with your plants.

If you want a fully styled, ready-to-display look, adding a planter (with repotting) is the way to go. We pair plants with proportion-matched planters and, if selected, repot them using our Tumbleweed DTE Organic Soil for a clean, finished setup.

If you prefer flexibility and easy maintenance, keeping the plant in its grow pot and placing it directly into a decorative planter is also perfectly fine—and something many of our customers (and team) do. This makes it easy to:

Swap plants between planters
Upsize or downsize without mess
Water and fertilise cleanly
Refresh your space without repotting

So yes — planters are a must for the look.

Whether you repot or keep the grow pot inside is simply a matter of lifestyle and preference.

Can I place the plant indoors immediately?

Yes, for our medium to low light houseplants, we have acclaimised them to our indoor environment! do place them as per our indicated guide.

For sun loving and outdoor plants, they are always recommended to be placed outdoor!
