Yes, I love viridis as well. Thabks for the comment and for sharing :)

Yes, keep then out of the afternoon sun. A few hours of morning sun is great though! :)

Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙏❤️

Thank you so mich for the comment and thanks for watching! 🙏❤️

Thanks for watching, glad it’s helpful! ❤️🙏

Thanks for the comment. I dont mind if JM seeds accidentally germinate all over the place 🤗🙏❤️

Leave color may vary depending on the season. If the bark is red it must be a sango kaku ❤️🙏

Sorry, I cannot ship live seeds as it may damage local flora.

Thank you so much! 🙂🙏❤️

Thank you for watching and for commenting! 🙂🙏🏻

Thanks! :) Usually when they are 6-8 years old. Mayb sooner if ure lucky :)

Yep, they’ve probably drowned. Must not soak them for longer than 36hrs. Dont worry, dried seeds you bought were probably not viable anyways. Dont give up!

Yes definitely. But only for overwintering and early spring. Seedlings are fine. How are yours doing? :)

IKEA ✌🏻😎

Thanks but not sure either. :)

Sorry but not in the business of selling.

Thank you so much! :)

Thanks Ron! This prticular specimen is is in semi sun. So that’s what I would do.

Hi Paul, thanks for your message and the positive feedback! Water them once a week, just enough to keep the compost damp. Make sure you have excellent drainage. When the top 1 inch of the compost has dried out, water again. Never soak the compost! 🍁🌱🙂

@@mapleticker many thanks

Im afraid that is too much. Safe would be direct sun only in the morning hourse if you can manage. You can plant it in the ground in a (large enough container) and if you see leaf burn you can take the entire container out of the ground and relocate it.

Check out the newest vid! :)

@yakofdez4698 sure I will! At the moment the ones on the fridge are still asleep. The ones outside are popping. I will make part 2 even if it is a failure! Stay Tuned! :)

Same here! But if your do it every year... for a few years it does become immediate gratification! :) Stay tuned!

In geneal I would not put laceleafs in all-day full sun, only full sun in the morning.

Had to watch again ….. thanks for the video of this beauty!!

Im in zone 6 so every garden center has pine bark readily available. Unless youre in a teopical zone it should be accessible

Thank you. I can only seem to fine the large chunk bark. I’ll keep looking.

@@sav5477 Try what they call ‘orchid compost’ … which is actually 100% small piece pine bark

I would only drop about little fertilizer 10-12 balls in it. But since I am not intending to train this into a large tree but rather keep it small it is not getting any :) This one will become bonsai and if you fertilize them the stem and the leaves grow too big to become bonsai. Thanks for your comment and stay tuned! :)

If nothing happens in the next 2 weeks just sow them in compost and place it outside. They will come around, maple seeds are tough! :)

Exactly, just like it is mentioned in the video.

Thanks for the question! ✌🏻🍁 All maples ahould develop seeds, however it usually happens to trees older than 8-10 years and not every year. Seed collection is all about luck on this sense. Also keep in mind that the seedling do not grow up to become clones of the parent tree. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the comment! Stratification is the process of cold and warm weather changing in the spring which eventually cracks the shells of the seeds open. Keeping them in the fridge is NOT stratification but rather COLD CHILLING as there is constant temperature. In the fridge the seeds eventually do crack the shells open but usually much later (April) than outside (early Feb). If you buy seeds online you should soak them for 36 hours in lukewarm water. You are best off sowing them directly in compost! I do not prefer the fridge method.

Thank you! :)

Yes, actually I use the fridge in case some super super cold freezing weather hits in and kills the seeds outside.

@yakofdez4698 thanks so much! You can go either way: cold stratify them by keep the seed trays outside or ‘moist chill’ them in the fridge. Both ways work. It really depends on the quality of the seeds. Good luck and thanks again for the comment! ✌🏻😀🍁

@@mapleticker Thank you so much for your answer. I don't know if the winter is cold enough where I live for the seeds to germinate, winter is mild over here and only very rarely temperature is below 0°C, I would say most of the time it's 5 to 15°C. Do they need a minimum temperature? I've looked it up but I can't find that information anywhere. Thank you so much for your time, you're very kind. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new seedlings next Spring, I'm sure they'll be beautiful. 😊

@@yakofdez4698 If it’s that mild then you should go for the fridge method. So turn your fridge down to 4 C if you can and put the seeds in a ziplock bag like you see in the video. If you are lazy like I am 😅😅😅 sow the seeds in small containers and put those in the fridge. They will be super fine there. Cant wait to post videos of the seedlings in February!

@@mapleticker Thank you so much, Maple Ticker! I'll do as you say. Fingers crossed! 🤞

@@mapleticker is there any fear for mold in the ziplock with the spagnum moss ??

Thanks! :) Best seed donor Japanese maple varieties are Bloodgood, Inaba Shidare and Osakazuki in my experience. The tree has to be about 8-10 years old. Good luck!

@@mapleticker many thanks paul
