In winter, as long as the temperature is kept between 0 ℃ and 5 ℃, it can survive the winter normally. However, if you plant in the north, you need to keep warm. You'd better not choose to spend the winter outdoors, or you will get frostbite.

2. Watering: it's OK to keep the soil moist during the growth of Acer henryi. Watering should be done thoroughly, and there should be no ponding. In the seedling period, the demand for water is not very large. With the growth of the plant, the demand for water will increase, so watering needs to be determined by observing the growth of the plant.

So in summer, it can be transplanted to a cool place or used for shading. It's OK to receive warm oblique light during the growing period

4. Fertilization: pay attention not to partial application of nitrogen fertilizer. In spring, you can apply a thin fertilizer and water. During the growth period, you should focus on the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

It will start to dry on the edge of the branches and leaves, and eventually the branches and leaves of the positive plant will wither. You can cut off the diseased branches and leaves in advance, or you can use medicine to prevent it.

2. Insect damage: Scarab will occur in summer. It can be sprayed with trichlorfon solution for control.
