Thinking about buying this Japanese maple plant but I’m afraid that it will die because I’m going to make it a indoor plant but aesthetically it’s beautiful and a powerful statement piece for my apartment. Thoughts? Should I do it? 200$ I’m willing to burn on such a piece of art.
Likely won’t survive more than a season inside. Japanese Maples require a dormancy period

0 likes They require a state of inactivity (I.e. winter conditions for outdoor plants), the indoors would not allow this, and it will probably die
0 likesDormancy in plants happens when the temperature becomes cold enough and the plant will stop growing and enter a dormant state. When the weather warms up it will begin to wake up and go through its growing period. For example Venus fly traps go through a dormancy period in the winter. If you have an indoor Venus flytrap it’s advised to keep them in a cold area like the garage or the fridge. Dormancy period in plants is essential because it allows them to grow healthier and live longer. Hope this helps!

0 likesPersonally, I wouldn’t. If you have the dedication and space then you could. During the fall/winter I would move it to a sheltered area outside if you can. If you do decide to buy it then I wish you the best of luck!

0 likesThen unfortunately I’m not sure if it would be a good fit. They require dormancy period or else they won’t be healthy, look good, or survive indoors. It definitely sucks not being able to have the right conditions for a plant but definitely do some research and see if you can find something else you like :)

I would not buy that unless you can duplicate exactly what they need outdoors which usually you can't. Let us know what you're going to do.
