Japanese maple propagation method

The propagation methods of Japanese red maple include sowing, cuttings, and grafting. It can be propagated by seeds, and cuttings are the fastest.

Japanese maple breeding season

Japanese red maple is usually propagated by cuttings in spring, when mainly one-year-old branches are used. If it is propagated in summer, young branches grown in the current year should be used.

Japanese red maple cutting propagation

Red maple cuttings can be carried out in June and July. Choose strong branches of the current year, about 20 cm in length. You can dip some rooting powder at the bottom to help it take root better. The substrate can be prepared by mixing perlite and pond mud. After planting, pay attention to shade and spray water to keep it moist. It will take root in about 1 month.

It should be moved indoors for maintenance after winter. In summer, it is best to place it in a sunny and ventilated place. It cannot withstand direct sunlight.
