20 Seeds Delonix regia B6 Royal Poinciana Flamboyant Flame Tree Gulmohar

These seeds sprouted within two weeks after scarification of the seeds and soaking in water for 3 days. Carefully nick the seeds on the end with a pair of scissors or garden shears as the seed casings are very hard. When you can see the whitish inside, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 3-4 days. Change the water if it becomes cloudy.You'll see the seed casing start to loosen and peel away. Plant the seeds with just a tiny bit of soil covering and water moderately but do not leave standing water in the saucer/tray as it gets cold and can affect growth. I also added a little 3% hydrogen peroxide to the water. These plants thrive in tropical temperatures under full light so keep temperature 75 F and get a lamp or heat mat to place the pot on.Three out of five seeds sprouted -- one is a track star -- and there is a fourth that seems to be a little directionally challenged. I'll keep her in my prayers :-)

After having these seeds for close to a year, and struggling to germinate them, I finally had some luck. Using different methods, such as potting, and individual cup planting, I finally gave up, and placed the last two seeds into the ground out in my backyard a few weeks ago. Instead of trying to be an amateur Gardener, I decided to let God himself do the work, since he's had a better track record with this kind of stuff, than I ever could. To my surprise, one took off!!!!Now, this may sound like a bunch of "fertilizer", but I noticed it when I got home from being in the Keys for a week. And guess what souvenir I bought back from the Keys? I bought a small Royal Poinciana tree! For seven hours on the car ride home, my children were aggravated because I had the little tree sit between them. Haha! My youngest child was even more aggravated when she saw the sprout!Now I finally have my Royal Poincianas in my backyard! Wish me luck, my fellow Amazons!

Not one sprout. Followed instructions and used correct soil.

Seeds worked great. About 25% germinated. Make sure you clip the round end of the seed with fingernail clippers (just enough to see the green inside) then put in a jar or water overnight. Take them out and put them in small paper pots with potting soil. I am in Arizona and it is dry here so I kept the soil wet and also put them all in a box with plastic wrap (like serran wrap) over it to keep it humid and moist. I let the hot morning sun hit it each day and then started letting more air in after a week. After a few weeks, I took the plastic wrap completely off. Make sure you bring them inside the first year if it gets too cold. Plant out side in the spring after the last cold day once it has been in a pot for a year or no more than two years when it has a thick, solid trunk. Only good places in the US to plant are florida, Arizona or other warm states that don’t get more than a day or two of freezing a year.

I appreciate opening the package and seeing what I paid for plus a little more. Thank you.

Not all of the seeds sprouted, but the ones that have, they are doing well.

After scarifying the seeds, about half began to germinate. Most of the others got moldy and gross before then, most of the rest got moldy and died very shortly after germinating. All that were afflicted had a blue-green mold that was very difficult to keep at bay, even with circulating air and hydrogen peroxide. I have one healthy, vigorous seedling that I’m very enthused about. Nothing else lived beyond the point of raising the soil above the seed. A five percent success rate seems a bit low.

Royal Poinciana is on the left and I planted them a few weeks after the jacaranda seeds. The rate of success is definitely higher than most seeds. I can't wait!These I just put in a soil about 1/2 inch in a one gallon pot and an inch from eachother and boom! Keep the soil moist. That was literally it. I would've probably had a 75% rate if I had left them alone but I repotted them individually and saw some seeds that sprouted later than others. Tried to save them...but that was no. I'd say leave them alone for two months before trying to individually separate them. That's just what I learned.
