Do not plant them inside. Maples need to be outside. Always.

Natural cold stratification! When the weather is getting beter in spring, you seeds will sprout on there own.

As sowing from seed is fun, it is more waiting then doing. So I would suggest to get some more tree's to fill up some time.

I've planted some maple seeds outside my porch, inside of two "green plastic houses" (sorry the translation). Every morning (sometimes twice a day) I pulverize them but they dont grow. What a shame :\ I was trying to grow a bunch of maple trees. Guess not...

None of my maple seeds have germinated either. Not sure where you are, but it is still early in the year.

I expect germination somewhere in April. It should be about starting on your end. Spring is slow this year though!

Last autumn I collected these seedlings from the ground around a big Japanese maple and sowed them.
This is how they look just by watering them and leaving them outside, very simple.
