Care Information:
Climate Adaptability: 'Emerald 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 'Emerald Lace' Japanese Maple in a partially shaded area to protect it from intense sunlight. This will help maintain the beauty of its delicate green 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.
Soil Type: Plant 'Emerald 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.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed for this variety. Remove any dead or damaged branches during late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth.
Fertilisation: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser designed for Japanese Maples in early spring. Follow the instructions on the package for proper application.
