How to grow Acer truncatum

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Loose, well-drained soil can be used to grow the maple.

2. Watering: It does not like too much water. In hot weather, you can water it once every 1-2 days. Be sure to water it thoroughly. In winter, control the amount of watering and do not water it too much.

3. Light: It has a strong adaptability to light. If it is kept indoors, try to put it in a place with good light, such as the living room, study, etc. Do not keep it indoors for a long time, and move it outdoors for maintenance as appropriate.

4. Temperature: The Japanese maple is produced in subtropical areas, so the temperature must be controlled in winter, and the minimum temperature should not be lower than 8°C. If the temperature is low, it will grow slowly or even stop growing.

2. Breeding Methods

Seeding propagation: first soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours. To allow the seeds to swell, you can sow them in rows, cover them with one centimeter of soil, and control the temperature at around 27°C.

3. Common pests and diseases

A common disease of Acer truncatum is damping-off disease, which should be promptly controlled by spraying with carbendazim once it is discovered. Common pests and diseases include white grubs, cutworms, etc. Furadan can be added when applying base fertilizer.
