How to Grow Your Hawaiian Orchid Tree Seeds These seeds boast a 99% germination rate, ensuring a high likelihood of success with proper care. Here's how to get started: Preparation: Soak seeds in just-boiled water overnight to soften the hard seed coat. Seeds that swell are ready for planting; re-treat any that remain hard. Planting: Sow the seeds into a well-drained, sandy compost. Cover lightly with sand or grit to protect the seeds while ensuring they remain moist. The ideal temperature for germination is 20-25C (68-77F). Patience Pays Off: Germination typically occurs within 4-6 weeks, although some seeds may take longer. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and place the pot in a shaded or semi-shaded location. Care: Once seedlings emerge, transplant them into larger containers or the open ground, depending on your climate. The tree thrives in warm, sunny conditions and tolerates drought once established. Key Features Versatile Landscaping: Perfect for warm-temperate to tropical climates, the tree is deciduous in winter and thrives in a variety of settings, from gardens to large containers. Low Maintenance: While drought-tolerant when mature, it requires minimal care aside from regular watering during the early growth stages. Year-Round Appeal: Whether planted outdoors or indoors in a conservatory, this tree adds continuous charm to your space. A Note on Germination Seeds of many plants, including Bauhinia purpurea, may have dormancy periods.
