maple doing fine

Japanese maple four weeks ago as I got in in a trade becasuen it looked lousy. And then today. It cannot be all wrong what I am preaching horticulturally: well draining substrate, water agressively EVERY day. Feed agressively every ten days to two weeks. The ovewhlming majority of bonsai are underwatered and desperately underfed. This was the SOLE problem with this tree. Easy fix!
Then the Kiohime looking fine after partial defoliation four weeks ago.
