Replanting Royal Poinciana
By Natalia

Hi, I moved to the Bahamas several months ago and was enchanted by the beauty of flame trees which are abundant here. i started grow my own from seeds and i got a lot of healthy seedlings. Fast growing too. After couple of months i replanted each tree in an individual pot. ALL of them stopped growing, and eventually lost their leaves. so now i have a lot of slowly dying trees.... Do you have any idea by any chance what caused it? I used a very reach potting soil, i water them on a regular basis, but seems like it is not helping at all. I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

I guess i will just wait till spring and see what happens. It hurts to see them not doing well, especially after seeing them thriving so vigorously before...thank you for your responses!

I've spent time in Bangkok, Thailand, and flame trees are popular over there. Can't help really, but it strikes me that in Bangkok they get a cool dry season with no rain at all and a hot wet season when they get maybe an inch or more of water every night. Maybe knowing this will help you get the conditions right? They are very fast growing!
