Planting Instructions

1. Timing: Sow Japanese Maple seeds in the fall or early winter to mimic natural conditions. Alternatively, seeds can be started indoors with stratification.
2. Stratification: To improve germination, stratify the seeds by placing them in a moist medium (such as sand or peat moss) in a refrigerator for 90-120 days.
3. Sowing: After stratification, plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil. Use a seed starting mix or a mix of sand and potting soil.
4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water gently to avoid disturbing the seeds.
5. Germination: Seeds typically germinate within 1-3 months after stratification and sowing, depending on conditions.

Growing and Care

• Sunlight: Japanese Maples thrive in partial shade to full sun. In hotter climates, provide some afternoon shade to protect the leaves from scorching.
• Soil: Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil enriched with organic matter.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can also enhance the tree’s natural form.
