Hello experts!

I have just bought a tiny Acer in a pot, £4 from a UK supermarket, where every little helps! It was bone dry on purchase, but other then that looks healthy. It had now had a good drink and is sitting on a kitchen windowsill.

Having never grown one of these before, I would appreciate any advice on it's care I can be given, please. I hope to keep it in a patio pot, as it grows. My patio is sunny, sheltered and can be quite hot(south west facing) so I assume I will need to allow it some shade as well? Does it need a specific compost? Feeding?

I look forward to your hints and tips. Thanks all.
