Cultivation:

1. Location: Plant Acer palmatum polymorphum cv "Midori" 緑 in a location that receives dappled sunlight to partial shade. It can tolerate morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon sun, especially in hotter climates.

2. Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining, rich in organic matter, and slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Avoid alkaline soils, as Japanese maples prefer slightly acidic conditions.

3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water deeply and regularly to prevent drying out. Mulching around the base of the tree helps retain soil moisture.

4. Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Major pruning is best done during late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant.

5. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to excessive growth at the expense of leaf color.

6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Ensure the mulch doesn't touch the trunk to prevent rot.

7. Pests and Diseases: Japanese maples can be susceptible to pests like aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Regularly inspect the tree for pests and treat infestations promptly. Adequate air circulation can help prevent fungal diseases.

8. Winter Protection: In colder regions, protect young or recently planted Viridis Japanese Maples from harsh winter conditions by wrapping them in burlap or providing additional mulch around the base.
