Description: African Tulip Magnolia Tree Seeds (Spathodea campanulata) "Flame of The Forest"Extravagant in every way, the African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) is known throughout the world as one of the most beautiful of all flowering trees. Widely grown in tropical climates but sensitive to cold, it was once quite rare in cultivation in California. In the past twenty years, however, this “king of flowering trees” has become a popular landscape tree in frost-free areas of Southern California, with a number of fine, mature specimens now thriving in San Diego County. A very popular cultivated ornamental in tropical climates, it is a large evergreen tree to fifty feet tall, or more, with flowers throughout the year. When grown in cooler climates such as Southern California, however, it is usually smaller.Winter hardy to USDA Zones 10-11 where it is easily grown in rich, moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates part shade, but best flowering is in full sun. May drop some leaves in dry seasons or when subjected to light frost. Must be sited in locations protected from wind because tree wood is weak and brittle. Established plants have some drought tolerance, but trees subject to dry conditions often become ragged in appearance with some leaf drop. Foliage will die if temperatures dip to 28 degrees F., but roots may survive to 20 degrees F. ZONES: 10-12African Tulip Tree Germination:"Plant more than needed as germination of African Tulip Tree seeds is only 50% when kept at 80 degrees F"1) Place the seeds in a shallow glass bowl, and cover them with lukewarm water. Soak the seeds for 48 hours, and then drain the water from the seeds. Growing an African tulip tree from seed is not difficult. However, either purchased or gathered seed germination is erratic, and approximately 50 percent of the small seeds will not germinate.2) Prepare a seed-planting soil mixture by combining equal parts of potting soil, organic compost and peat moss. Mix the materials until the mix is loose and crumbly. Fill nursery planting trays with the planting mixture. Water the soil and allow it to drain. The soil should be moist but not soggy.3) Scatter the African tulip tree seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and press down gently. Do not cover with additional soil, because the seeds require light to germinate. Using a spray bottle, mist the surface of the soil lightly with water. Cover each planting tray with a clear dome lid to retain moisture, and place the trays in a warm location. The trays should be located in an area with abundant light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the tender young seedlings. Keep the tree seeds evenly moist by misting with water daily. The seeds germinate quickly, often as early as two weeks after planting.4) Remove the plastic domes covering the seed trays when the seeds have germinated. Remove the weakest seedlings to provide room for the strongest plants to develop. Cut off week seedlings at the soil level with shears; pulling out the dead seedlings can damage the roots of nearby healthy plants. Keep the soil evenly moist until the seedlings are about 2 to 3 inches tall and have developed two leaves.5) Select the strongest seedlings for transplanting to a container for outdoor growing. African tulip trees may also be grown indoors in a sunny location. Plant the tender young seedlings, one to a pot. Use 8-inch pots to start your new African tulip tree seedlings. Transplant to larger pots as the plants mature. When a tree is approximately 2 feet tall, the potted plant may be moved to a sunny outdoor location."Please Contact us First if you Need Anything"Germinación del tulipán africano:"Plante más de lo necesario, ya que la germinación de las semillas del tulipán africano es solo del 50 % cuando se mantiene a 80 grados F"1) Coloque las semillas en un recipiente de vidrio poco profundo y cúbralas con agua tibia. Remoje las semillas durante 48 horas y luego escurra el agua de las semillas. Cultivar un tulipán africano a partir de semillas no es difícil. Sin embargo, la germinación de las semillas compradas o recolectadas es errática y aproximadamente el 50 por ciento de las semillas pequeñas no germinarán.2) Prepare una mezcla de tierra para plantar semillas combinando partes iguales de tierra para macetas, abono orgánico y turba. Mezcle los materiales hasta que la mezcla esté suelta y desmenuzada. Llene las bandejas de plantación del vivero con la mezcla de plantación. Riegue la tierra y déjela drenar. La tierra debe estar húmeda pero no empapada.3) Distribuya las semillas del tulipán africano de manera uniforme sobre la superficie de la tierra y presione suavemente. No cubra con tierra adicional, porque las semillas necesitan luz para germinar. Con un rociador, rocíe ligeramente la superficie del suelo con agua. Cubra cada bandeja de plantación con una tapa transparente en forma de domo para retener la humedad y coloque las bandejas en un lugar cálido. Las bandejas deben ubicarse en un área con abundante luz. Evite la luz solar directa, que puede quemar las tiernas plántulas jóvenes. Mantenga las semillas de los árboles uniformemente húmedas rociándolas con agua todos los días. Las semillas germinan rápidamente, a menudo tan pronto como dos semanas después de la plantación.4) Retire las cúpulas de plástico que cubren las bandejas de semillas cuando las semillas hayan germinado. Retire las plántulas más débiles para dejar espacio para que se desarrollen las plantas más fuertes. Corte las plántulas débiles al nivel del suelo con tijeras; arrancar las plántulas muertas puede dañar las raíces de las plantas sanas cercanas. Mantenga la tierra uniformemente húmeda hasta que las plántulas tengan aproximadamente de 2 a 3 pulgadas de alto y hayan desarrollado dos hojas.5) Seleccione las plántulas más fuertes para trasplantarlas a un recipiente para cultivar al aire libre. Los árboles de tulipán africano también se pueden cultivar en interiores en un lugar soleado. Plante las plántulas tiernas jóvenes, una por maceta. Use macetas de 8 pulgadas para comenzar sus nuevas plántulas de tulipán africano. Trasplantar a macetas más grandes a medida que las plantas maduren. Cuando un árbol alcance aproximadamente 60 cm de altura, la planta en maceta se puede trasladar a un lugar soleado al aire libre."Comuníquese con nosotros primero si necesita algo"
