Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: Stratify seeds before planting. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours, then place them in a plastic bag with moist sand or peat moss. Store the bag in the refrigerator for 90-120 days to mimic winter conditions.

Sowing: 

After stratification, sow seeds in a well-draining seed starting mix. Place seeds on the surface and cover lightly with soil.

Germination: 

Germination may take several weeks to months. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 60-70°F. Use a humidity dome to retain moisture if needed.

Transplanting: 

Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots with well-draining potting soil. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Japanese maples prefer a moist but well-drained environment.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Best done in late winter to early spring before new growth begins.
Protection: Protect young trees from strong winds and extreme temperatures. In colder climates, provide winter protection by mulching heavily around the base and covering the plant if necessary.

Happy gardening!
