Acer campestre aka Field Maple

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Field Maple, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Field Maple should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Its needs are relatively simple, but one of the most important is making sure its soil is adequately moist. Without proper moisture, the plant can suffer from wilting and stunted growth. To ensure your Field Maple is healthy, you must choose a potting soil that retains moisture.

Look for a soil with good drainage to prevent root rot, but also make sure it contains plenty of organic matter. Coco coir and sphagnum moss are both excellent ingredients for retaining moisture and providing the #self.names with the nutrients it needs to thrive. If you can find a soil that has a combination of these ingredients, your #self.names will thank you with beautiful blooms.

Field Maple requires abundant, bright and direct light. Placing it less than one foot from a window is the best way to make sure the plant receives enough light to survive and thrive. Depending on your region, however, the current weather can affect the placement of the plant in your home. For example, in some areas the sun may be too direct and intense, so it's best to place it farther away from the window. You may also need to adjust your placement according to the season as the sunlight can change intensity over the course of the year. If you live in a region with significant temperature fluctuations, such as a desert, you may need to place the plant a bit farther away from the window to avoid extreme heat or cold. With some care and attention, your Field Maple will be sure to bring you many years of beauty and enjoyment.

During the wintertime, it is common for Field Maple plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

The growth of Field Maple is gradual and it doesn't necessitate any additional fertilizers. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should suffice to provide the plant with sufficient nutrition. It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.

Field Maple’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Sweden to Spain and east to western Asia and the Caucasus.
