It depends on where you are situated. Japanese Maples are from........Japan. Their climate is much kinder than ours and they also get significant winter cold and snow. If you can't replicate these conditions, then you are forever pampering them to try to keep them looking good. Personally I would prefer to grow a tree that I KNOW will work without the fuss. They are also fussy about soil and hot northerly winds.

Marble benchtop. Classic. Then the window because I have one in the same spot, it's not overly common

the plants on the back fence will give good impact once grown. The rug is more of a pain. This would be a cleaners nightmare. Gives the area impact but not a suitable design choice near a pool. The mirror looks good but near a bbq you are always going to have to wipe the grease from off the mirror. The plant will also have to be removed once you start cooking. The chair is to close to the bbq and the fridge. So this would have to be moved to be able to work in this area or open the bar fridge fully. I do not mine any of the furniture but not a suitable out come for the area where the design seems not to be workable. Vision is important but design area must also be hassle free.

I bought this "rubber tree" at Home Depot years ago. At least I think it's what we call a Rubber Tree. It's been growing tall but can't support its weight. One summer I brought it outside where the wind strengthened the main stem enough to keep it strong. The next summer it was too tall to ever support itself no matter how much I tried to strengthen the main stem. I topped it to keep it from growing taller until it got a stronger stem. This is actually two trees next to each other. I wound the together hoping that would help. Neither of them are branching out, only growing taller. Ideally I want this to grow tall and then bushy on the top. My home is 62 (F) at night and 68 (F) at day. We have lower humidity in Colorado. It has plenty of light and the window is west facing with south windows as well. I used Gritty Mix, with Foliage Pro fertilizer and water once a week. In the photo it's leaning against the wall to keep from bending over, otherwise it can't support its weight. Any ideas? Thank you!
