Pseudobombax ellipticum 5 Seeds

It tolerates partial shade, especially in hotter climates, but optimal growth and flowering require six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Indoors, a south-facing window is beneficial, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch leaves. Adequate light also encourages caudex development.

Needs a soil mix with excellent drainage to prevent root and caudex rot. A well-draining cactus or succulent mix is suitable. Amend with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand for improved drainage and aeration.
