Acer platanoides aka Norway Maple

Caring for Norway Maple is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

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

Norway Maple is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Aieresse is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Norway Maple with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Norway Maple with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Norway Maple prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Norway Maple to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

The Norway Maple grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.
