Acer Tartaricum
Fire Maple - Amur Maple - Bonsai
The fire maple comes from Northeast China and Japan. It is a small tree of 5 - 10 m height with dark green shiny leaves. In autumn, these leaves then turn into a bright red fireworks. The fire maple is also good as bonsai.
?For sowing, use Jiffy peat wells, swell in water and place in a plastic pot.
Spread some seeds on the peat pot and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).
Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed.
Further watering is not required as moisture does not evaporate through the squeeze bag.
Location: on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse partially shaded, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night slightly lower at 20 - 24 C.
