inside as an apartment plant and pruned to a smaller size. The blooming season
is from May to August. Incredible orange-red flowers with very long red stamens

the flower and the bird. These flowers are quite impressive and bring
attention. They have a light smell. The foliage is evergreen or semi-persistent

green leaves are stingy on one side. The shrub produces small light brown

Caelsalpinia pulcherrima can very well resist to periods of dryness. Needs
protection against cold and wind. Will grow well in full sun and requires a
good watering.
Scarification:
Seed coats may be so hard that they are impermeable to water.
They need to be scratched or broken using a knife or sandpaper, to germinate.
Chip the seeds with a sharp knife or make a few swipes with a sharp-edged file
or use sandpaper to allow moisture being more rapidly absorbed.
Germination:
Scarification will be necessary. You will then place the
seeds in hot water for a day. Plant the seeds in a well-drained mix of humus
and garden soil. Water regularly. This shrub loves the sun or mid-shade and a
fresh environment. Germination can take 2-4 months, maybe more, don’t get
discouraged.
