Propagation is typically from seed. The seeds grow fairly easily, but they should be sanded lightly for better result. Sanded seeds absorb water better and grow faster. A soak in warm water for several hours will improve the rate of germination. Once sprouted, seedlings should be brought along in small pots and planted out when they reach a height 2 to 3 feet.
Young plants are slow to establish, but grow more rapidly after the first or second year.
Caesalpinia pulcherrima may grow to a height of 6 to 10 feet, often dependent on the environment and available water. Jose Puras 1124 Hooper Ave. Includes U.S. Postal charges International Credit Card Orders please click below.
