I am using 4, t5 ho 6500 degree bulbs. Should i go to a 200w metal halide?** A: I have mine in a pot in a window. You can use a smaller wattage grow lite and still get nice results. **Q: can this survive in full sun?** A: Definitely not. I have them under one of the Mars Hydro 300 watt LED bulbs and they started to brown at about 24 inches away. I moved them a little further away at around 48 inches and they seem to be thriving now. Assuming the sun is more powerful than my light I can speculate that the tree needs shade. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kuro HIME Japanese Maple - Black Princess Maple - A Tough Dwarf Maple with Ever Changing Leaf Color- 3 - Year Live Plant - Floating Cloud Japanese Maple Acer palmatum Ukigumo 2 - Year Tree - Coral Pink Japanese Maple - Beautiful Coral Pink Leaves in Spring Light Up The Garden 3 - Year Live Tree --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/68422154-kuro-hime-japanese-maple-black-princess-maple-a-tough-dwarf](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/68422154-kuro-hime-japanese-maple-black-princess-maple-a-tough-dwarf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
