Acer Palmatum ‘Koto Hime’ – Care & Information

The ‘Koto Hime’ stands out for its delicate, finely serrated leaves and extremely short internodes, making it one of the most compact Japanese maple varieties available for bonsai. Originating from Japan, this dwarf cultivar displays vibrant spring growth, rich summer greens, and a warm orange-red autumn colour, all in miniature form.
Pro Tip: Place your Koto Hime in full sun to partial shade, depending on your climate. Protect from strong midday heat in summer and from severe frost in winter. Proper exposure will keep internodes short and enhance colour transitions throughout the seasons.

If your bonsai arrives damaged, email us at treevaset@gmail.com or Whatsapp us at +49 1578 3471124 with photos from different angles taken during unboxing. Once we verify the issue, we’ll provide a full refund or we’ll replace your bonsai.

Caring for a bonsai is easier than you think! Follow our care instructions, water it when the soil feels dry, and set a watering reminder if needed. For beginners, we recommend our Bonsai Starter Kits and placing the bonsai somewhere you’ll see it often. It’s all about consistency!

Watering is the most frequent task and usually takes less than a minute. Most of the year, watering is needed only a few times a week, though daily watering may be required in summer if your bonsai is in direct sunlight. We also suggest spending about 5 minutes a week observing your bonsai’s growth and learning to read its signals. This makes caring for it more rewarding and enjoyable!

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, Google Pay and Apple Pay payment.

Of course, if you have questions about watering, pruning, or other care needs, feel free to reach out to us. Additionally, you can book a one-on-one session with our experts if you’d like to deepen your bonsai knowledge and get personalized guidance.
