At WePlante, we are committed to offering you plants that not only beautify your spaces, but also contribute to the well-being of your employees.

Today, we are focusing on a plant that is particularly appreciated for its beauty and numerous benefits : the Japanese maple.

Origin and characteristics of the Japanese maple

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.

Why choose Japanese maple for your workspace ?

The Japanese maple is much more than just a decorative plant. Here's why it's one of our suggestions for greening up your office:

- Refined aesthetics : With its finely cut leaves and changing colours, the Japanese maple is a true living work of art that enhances any type of office or professional space.

- Calming atmosphere : Known for its relaxing qualities, the Japanese maple helps reduce stress and promotes a serene atmosphere, ideal for improving the well-being of your employees. Its delicate foliage has a calming effect, making it the perfect plant for a work environment.

- Adaptability : Japanese maple thrives both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to integrate into different types of business environments. Whether you want to decorate your offices or create an outdoor space around your relaxation areas, it will adapt to your needs.

- Air purification : Like many indoor plants, the Japanese maple helps purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, contributing to a healthier working environment.

Our tips for caring for Japanese maple trees

Caring for Japanese maples is relatively simple, but a few precautions are necessary to ensure healthy growth :

- Watering : This plant prefers slightly moist soil. 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.
