Japanese Maple Tree – Should I Leave It Indoors

Q: I found a small Japanese maple tree growing near a bigger one so I dug it up and planted it in a pot. Now it is two feet tall. Should I leave it in the pot indoors for a while?

A: I think the maple would be much happier if you kept it outside. You can either plant it now in a permanent spot or make a holding bed to keep it until you decide where to put it.
