Japanese maples are fairly easy to start. We do them the same time we do tridents, when the buds really swell, using normal strength rooting hormone, and place them into akadama and pumice (50/50) in a colander and cover with a layer of sphagnum moss. Don't bump them, keep them uniformly damp and best of luck. We don't do dissectums, they seem to be too weak generally for my bonsai interests. Do 50 or so per colander, transplant next year.

Cheers,
John
