Hallo,
I have a question about how to plant seeds, I bought this Japonese Acer seeds on the market ( the one's that they are coming in this envelopes) and I don't know if I need to make the estratificacion or not.
I live in Holland, so is not a warm wether.
I read a lot and I think the best is to make the stratification proces, but I'm not soru.
Can someone help me?!
Thanks.

Hi,

Japanese Maples do indeed need stratification. If you bought them in an envelope, it should somewhere state whether they were indeed stratified. But even if they were, there is no harm in doing it again.

A good way to do it is to first soak the seeds for a few hours in water. Take a zip-lock baggie, put a bit of moist substrate in it, mix the seeds in and place the lot in the fridge (Vegetable drawer). Leave them there and check every week or so. As soon as seeds germinate, you place them gently (Avoid touching the root!) in a pot. Best is to just lay the seed on the surface, and gently sprinkle half a cm of soil over it, and water. Do not press the soil.

I have a few maple seeds which I will place in the fridge around new years. They should take 3-4 months before germinating, which means you will have seedlings by March, April, right on time to move outdoors by early may.

Thanks for the information! I read a lot on Internet and I have to much and different information!
Now just wait!
