Plant red maple trees in the spring from March to May, or in the autumn from September to October. The soil needs to be soft, fertile, acidic sandy soil. The soil for potting can be prepared from leaf mold soil, garden soil, sandy soil, and base fertilizer, and has been disinfected in advance. Pick the seeds when they are mature in September-October, dry them and store them. Wait until the planting season, soak the seeds to induce germination, then sow them into the soil, cover them with soil and wait for germination.

1. Time selection

1. Time selection

You can choose to plant red maple trees in the spring from March to May, or in the autumn from September to October. The climate in these two periods is very different. It is suitable and the temperature can be stably maintained above 20 degrees, which is very beneficial for later planting and growth.

2. Prepare the soil

Suitable soil is the basis for growth. You need to choose soft and fertile sandy soil with an acidic pH value. If it is potted cultivation, suitable soil needs to be prepared in advance. It can be prepared with leaf humus soil, pastoral soil, sandy soil, and base fertilizer to meet the elements required for growth. After the soil is prepared, it is not used directly for planting. It needs to be disinfected, exposed to the sun, or watered with fungicides, which can also have a disinfecting effect.

3. Seed processing

The seeds of red maple trees will mature in September-October. You can pick the seeds at this time, then remove the shriveled ones and place them in the sun to dry to remove the moisture inside. Then store them in a cool, ventilated, and dry place. When you are ready to sow next year, treat the seeds, soak them in cold water, and take them out after a day of soaking. This can promote germination.

4. Sowing and Planting

After preparing the soil, sow the seeds into it, cover it with soil to promote germination, and wait for the seedlings to grow.
