How to grow red maple

1. Soil

When breeding, you should use neutral or slightly acidic soil. You can mix lime soil, humus soil and organic soil when preparing it. This will make it more breathable and more conducive to root growth.

2. Lighting

Red maple is a shade-loving plant species. When caring for it, it only needs to receive about 7 hours of sunlight a day. It is best to avoid strong light to prevent the bark from being sunburned and affecting growth.

3. Temperature

It is very cold-resistant and will not get frostbite even in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, so there is no need to worry about its maintenance in winter. However, it is more suitable to grow in an environment between 18 and 25 degrees. During the high temperatures in summer, more watering and ventilation are required.

4. Watering

During maintenance and management, water frequently to keep the plant moist, but still avoid waterlogging, otherwise it will easily lead to root rot. Water should be controlled in winter. The soil in the pot just needs to be slightly moist. No need to water if it is not dry.

5. Fertilization

It requires more nutrients to grow, especially during the peak growing season. It needs to be fertilized once every half a month. Either diluted liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be used. But be careful to stop fertilizing during high temperature seasons and low temperature seasons.
