What is the best soil, fertilizer and water amount for my tree?
Japanese Maples must have constant moisture and good drainage. Mulch your tree with 2 – 3″ of shredded bark, preferably hardwood, to insulate the roots and prevent water from evaporating around the tree. Planting in the fall four to six weeks before the ground freezes is best. Regular watering is essential. In the spring one light application of a balanced fertilizer is usually adequate.
The fertilizers are used to increase the fertility of soil. They increase the growth rate of plants and make them more healthy. There are different types of fertilizers are available in market Natural, Organic, and chemical fertilizers. In all of them Organic and natural fertilizers are best to use because they do not have any side effects on soil or plants. I am using BioActive Cocopeat in my garden. It has a property of holding water and have balanced pH value due to which plant requires less water for growth stays healthy. It will be helpful to you also.
