Bauhinia galpinii
red orchid tree seeds

Bauhinia galpinii, also called red orchid tree, grows more like a climbing plant, which leans with its branches on walls or columns. The flowers of the Bauhinia galpinii are red to bright pink, with a very delicate appearance. Flowering time is spring to summer.

For sowing,  swell in water and place in a plastic pot. 

Spread some seeds on the peat pot and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).

Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of the size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed.

Location: on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse partially shaded, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night slightly lower at 20 - 24 C.
