Acer palmatum ‘Seigen’ – Care & Information

‘Seigen’ stands out for its soft, delicate leaves that emerge bright pink in early spring, gradually turning to deep red and finally greenish-red in summer before transforming again into fiery autumn tones. This makes it a captivating variety to watch through the seasons. Compact and refined, ‘Seigen’ is ideal for small to medium-sized bonsai and responds beautifully to pruning and shaping.
Pro Tip: Place your ‘Seigen’ in full morning sun with light afternoon shade to protect its tender red leaves from scorching. Regular watering and balanced feeding during the growing season will help maintain colour intensity and healthy growth.

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.
