How to make the Japanese Maple Leave much reddish in colour

Hi,

My Japanese Maple leaves colour is not so blood redish in colour. Can I put in something in the soil to make it brighter and more bloodly red.

 

Well, as far as I know the color is not controlled by chemicals in the soil. What kind of JM is it? There are many varieties, and some hold their red color better than others. The amount of sun it gets can also affect how red it is. Most hold their color better if they have afternoon shade.

 

I've heard thinner soil will yield more color.

 

Your tree will turn rhe colour you want to see in autumn
