Care Information:
Climate Adaptability: 'Orange Lace' thrives in the South African climate, particularly in mild to moderate conditions. It can tolerate both heat and cold to some extent, but protection during extreme weather is recommended.
Sun Exposure: Place your 'Orange Lace' Japanese Maple in a partially shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight. This will help preserve the brilliance of its lace-like foliage and prevent leaf scorching.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. During hot and dry periods, increase watering frequency to prevent drought stress and maintain the tree's health.
Soil Type: Plant 'Orange Lace' in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. If your soil is heavy or clayey, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage and support the optimal growth of the tree.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required for this variety. Remove any dead or damaged branches during late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and maintain its graceful form.
Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser designed for Japanese Maples in early spring and mid-summer. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application to ensure your 'Orange Lace' flourishes.
