What are the key points of the seedling-raising technique for red maple bonsai?
Red maple is a precious foliage tree, so it is often grown as a potted plant for appreciation. For potting, use 2 parts garden soil and 2 parts leaf mold, plus 1 part sand to make the growing medium. Japanese red maple is transplanted in February to March; when transplanted during the growing season, the leaves must be removed and a soil ball kept around the roots. For routine watering, keep the soil alternately dry and moist, and prevent it from becoming too dry or too wet.
