How to Cultivate a Maple Tree
This article provides a brief introduction to the experience of cultivating maple trees and the methods and precautions for green plant maintenance. Let's explore this together next.
Maple trees are an excellent ornamental leaf plant. Their leaves are not green like most plants, but a very beautiful red, making them popular with many people. Cultivating maple trees well is a science, requiring sufficient sunlight while avoiding direct strong sunlight, maintaining soil moisture without waterlogging, and ensuring proper fertilization and pruning. Let's see how to cultivate them below.
I. Sunlight
Appropriate sunlight can make maple leaves more vibrant, but placing maple trees in direct sunlight can lead to leaf curling. Therefore, maintaining moderate sunlight is very important. Direct sunlight can cause rapid evaporation of moisture, leading to leaf curling and drying. In severe cases, the entire plant may wilt. It is recommended to move the tree to a more shaded area during strong sunlight or use a sunshade net to avoid direct sunlight.
II. Water
Lack of water can cause leaves to dry out, while excessive watering can lead to root rot. Therefore, it is often said that to make maple leaves beautiful, it is essential to master the watering frequency! I can share a simple method with you: observe the dryness of the soil two centimeters below the surface, and water appropriately if it is dry. Moreover, it is best to choose loose and breathable soil during cultivation to avoid waterlogging issues.
III. Maintenance
The main points of maple tree maintenance are two-fold: first, balanced fertilization, with appropriate fertilization every 10 days, which helps the maple to produce new leaves more beautifully. Second, scientific pruning, as maple trees grow quickly, regular pruning helps ensure adequate nutrient consumption. It is usually suitable to prune in April, during spring.
