- Hi everyone, In todays video we're growing Japanese Maples from seed using the paper towel method and I'll be planting the seedlings into my Terrarium.
I'll take you through the whole process to successfully germinate your Japanese Maple seeds and how to care for them until they are ready to be planted.
Hope you enjoy today's video
Thanks for watching

I haven't seen Japanese Maple seeds before. Cute baby trees.😃 Interesting video!👍
Kit, you are going to have a neat bonsai forest. 👍
Thank you Valorie 🌱🌱😊🌱🌱
Thank you for the advice! :))
I am growing Japanese maples from seeds I collected last December and just now (early March) about eleven of my seeds germinated (in my fridge!). I didn't wait though until they became bigger before putting them about 1 cm into the earth two days ago. Some of them had just about 2 millimeters of root coming out. Should I have waited until they developed small baby leaves before planting them in earth? I am worried my seedlings won't grow well, because this is my first try. I can't wait to see little red leaves grow though😍
Very enjoyable Kit. I’m off out now looking under our Japanese maple trees for seeds. I’ve been thinking they were all sycamore shooting up all over the garden.😊
Thank you, they do grow very easily from seed, they’re a lot smaller seedlings than sycamore. Good luck if you find some, they don’t seem to mind being dug up. 🌱🌱😊🌱🌱
Hola que tal yo tenía igual una plantita de Arce rojo y media apenas 6 centímetros pero ya había sacado sus hojas pero desafortunadamente se la comió mi cotorra y solo le dejo el tronco será que todavía puede desarrollar o ya no gracias
what season did you germinate the seeds?
I wanted to ask same question, what month did you plant the seedlings please? I started some J maple seeds in winter and they're so fragile
End of March I think, just as the weather starts warming up. They don’t do well if started indoors, best to sow them in a greenhouse or outside and they’ll come up when they’re ready.
Such lovely terrarium! So many questions I have for you lol Do you plan on keeping, pruning and training them in there? How old is this terrarium? Great scape all looks lush and established!
Thank you, I didn’t really have any plans but I will be pruning them when needed and I’ll probably change it again at some point. It’s 8 months old now and going well, the pine tree died, everything else has gone crazy.
That's so awesome I too made a small 10g terrarium with lot's of native moss and what I believe is a lemon tree that grew from seed and a propagated begonia. I want to house a frog or salamander soon. I have too many crickets rn. Do you have springtails and isopods and do you plan on making it a ecosystem? I think some sort of waterfall might be needed in mine in the near future. Have you thought about any water feature in yours?
Im a bit shocked! You said you kept the seeds in warm. But what I have seen some videos, everybody put it into a fridge. Im very confused now to be honest.
They were stored outside all winter in our porch, they would have been subjected to the cold.
