The Japanese maple is a plant native to the mountains of Japan, Korea and China.

It is distinguished by its leaves, which are cut into fine, elegant lobes and vary in colour depending on the season : from bright green in spring and summer to flamboyant red in autumn, offering an incredible natural spectacle.

This plant, which can be grown in pots or in the ground, is ideal for adding a touch of zen to your offices or workspaces.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, it embodies tranquillity and promotes a calm environment conducive to concentration.

It is important to maintain a balance to avoid excess water, which could cause the roots to rot. Moderate watering, about once a week, is sufficient. 

- Light : Japanese maple likes bright locations, but it is best to avoid direct exposure to sunlight, as this could burn its delicate leaves.

- Temperature : Japanese maples thrive in room temperatures between 15 and 20°C. In summer, they appreciate a little shade, while in winter they can withstand cooler temperatures.

- Humidity : If you place them outdoors, it is important to maintain sufficient humidity. You can lightly spray their leaves to simulate their natural environment.
