Maple tree is a common landscape tree species. It has beautiful crown shape, lush branches and leaves, rich colors, and upright trunks. It is deeply loved by people. However, for some reasons, some people are unable to grow maple trees outdoors. At this time, planting maple trees indoors is also a good choice. However, the indoor environment is different from the outdoor environment. If not maintained reasonably, it will affect the growth and health of maple trees. This article will detail how to maintain maple trees indoors.

Choose a maple variety suitable for indoor growth If you want to grow maple trees indoors, you should first choose a maple variety suitable for indoor growth. Common maple varieties suitable for indoor growth include Goldfinger, Golden Maple, Kenaf, Red Jade, etc. These maple varieties have strong adaptability, short growth cycles, and strong resistance to pests and diseases. Choosing these varieties can better adapt to the indoor environment, thereby ensuring the growth and health of maple trees.
Choosing the right pot soil When planting maple trees indoors, choosing the right pot soil is also crucial. First of all, you should choose basin soil with good air permeability, rather than soil that is too sticky and heavy. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the PH value of the basin soil, which should generally be controlled between 6-7. If the PH value of the basin soil is high or low, it will affect the growth and nutrient absorption of maple trees.
Choosing the right flower pot When planting maple trees indoors, choosing the right flower pot is also very important. Generally speaking, the flowerpot should be slightly larger than the root system of the maple tree, which is conducive to the growth of the maple tree. At the same time, you should also choose a flower pot that is durable, beautiful and breathable. If the flowerpot is not breathable, it will affect the root respiration of the maple tree.
Maintain appropriate temperature When maintaining maple trees indoors, temperature is also a very important factor. Generally speaking, the suitable growth temperature for maple trees is between 18 and 26℃. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will affect the normal growth and health of maple trees. Especially in winter, attention should be paid to avoid the room temperature being too low or too high, so as not to affect the overwintering and growth of maple trees.
Control appropriate humidity When planting maple trees indoors, humidity is also a very important maintenance factor. Generally speaking, the suitable humidity for maple trees is 50%-60%. If the humidity is too low, it will cause the leaves of maple trees to wither and dry; if the humidity is too high, it will cause problems such as pests and diseases. To reasonably control indoor humidity, humidity can be increased through humidifiers and other methods.
Adequate sunshine and appropriate shadow lighting are also an important factor affecting the growth and health of maple trees. In general, indoor planting of maple trees requires sufficient sunshine and appropriate shade. Adequate sunshine is conducive to photosynthesis in maples and promotes leaf growth and nutrient absorption; appropriate shadows can avoid leaf burns caused by excessive exposure.
Appropriate fertilization When maintaining maple trees indoors, proper fertilization is also very important. Generally speaking, a combination of organic fertilizer and mineral fertilizer should be chosen to fertilize. Organic fertilizers help improve soil fertility and water retention, while mineral fertilizers can provide rich trace elements. However, it should be noted that appropriate fertilization should be carried out to avoid soil acidification caused by excessive fertilization.
Regular pruning When maintaining maple trees indoors, regular pruning is also very important. Pruning can promote the growth of branches and new shoots in maples, making maples more lush. However, it should be noted that pruning should be moderate to avoid excessive damage to the maple trees.
Timely watering When maintaining maple trees indoors, timely watering is also very important. Generally speaking, the moisture of the soil should be ensured, but not too much water. If you water too much, it can cause root suffocation and mold. Water needs to be reasonably watered according to the growth of maple trees and the humidity of the indoor environment.
Timely treatment of pests and diseases When planting maple trees indoors, pests and diseases are also an inevitable problem. If pests and diseases in maple trees are found, corresponding treatment measures should be taken in time. In general, organic pesticides and fungicides can be chosen for treatment.
Avoid strong winds and vibrations When maintaining maple trees indoors, pay attention to avoiding strong winds and vibrations. Because this will affect the stability of the roots and stems of the maple tree, thus affecting the growth and health of the maple tree.
Pay attention to indoor ventilation When maintaining maple trees indoors, ventilation is also an important factor. Appropriate ventilation can promote indoor air circulation and avoid excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide, which is conducive to the normal growth and health of maple trees.
Create a good growing environment When planting maple trees indoors, create a good growing environment. For example, you can choose to place a place indoors with sufficient light and good ventilation, and keep the indoor temperature appropriate.
Regularly check the growth of maple trees When maintaining maple trees indoors, it is also very important to regularly check the growth of maple trees. You can understand the growth of maple trees by observing the color of maple leaves, whether the leaves are curled, and whether there are eggs on the surface of the leaves.
When maintaining maple trees indoors, many factors need to be paid attention to. Starting from seed selection, pot soil, flower pots, temperature, humidity, etc., combined with sufficient sunshine, proper fertilization, regular pruning and other methods, indoor maple trees can thrive and become your indoor beauty.
