HOW TO GROW BRACHYCHITON ACERIFOLIUS (Illawarra Flame Tree) :

Step 1
Prepare either a seed tray or individual pots with a well draining soil mix. This can be made up peat, seed raising mix, garden soil, sand. Most substrates are fine as long as they are well draining, we use a normal potting mix for these with a little vermiculite and perlite added.
Step 2
Sow seeds roughly 3-5 mm deep (around the size of the seed width) and moisten the soil with a mist spray hose setting or bottle to avoid disturbing the seeds or making the soil too wet.
Step 3
If you have a greenhouse place your tray / pots in there to assist with warmth & humidity levels, if not cover your pots / tray with clear plastic, glass or kitchen wrap (glad wrap), this will create a greenhouse environment. Place into a well lit, warm position where they will not be getting full harsh sun. Inside a greenhouse can get to extreme temperatures when they are in full afternoon sun during the summer months and can cook your seeds! They can also be started indoors if required. Keep moist during entire germination period. Ideal germination temperatures for germination are between 23-28°C / 73-73°F In ideal conditions seeds should germinate around 2-4 weeks.
Step 4
Once several seeds have germinated you can begin to remove a corner of your clear covering to allow some air circulation which will prevent any molding and allow the seedlings to acclimatise to the outside environment. Once the seedlings a growing well and strong enough you can begin to move them to a sunny position, but do this slowly over a week or two; starting with morning sun. Be sure that your soil doesn't completely dry out as young seedlings are not drought tolerant like they will be as mature trees. Avoid over watering, this is a common cause of seedling death with many plant species. Transplanting can be done once they have 2-3 true leaves if necessary; they are quite sturdy. Best kept in pots until around 3 or 4 years old. Chosen location for transplant in the garden should be in full sun. From seed the Illawarra Flame Tree takes between 4-8 years to flower
