Brazilian Rain Tree: Pithecellobium Tortum or Samanea Saman

[Paul F.]

can’t blame you.

I also bought some BLT seeds online previously and have been enjoying growing them. I’ll post some photos when I have a chance (and to hopefully elicit some tips).

I'd love to see some pics! I think Im going to grow 1/2 of them in turface only and the rest in regular potting mix. Im going to experiment big time. I bought some Brazilian Ironwood seeds too. Any tips will be appreciated too. Thanks!

They're absolutely awesome. One is about 14 inches long already. I have that one is a tropical soil mix.. the rest I have in a very small mix of akadama and kiryu sand. I have two out of the 14 that arent doing well. Not sure why though. I moved them into some bigger pots and ill have to see how they do.

Mine are like almost 2 feet tall now! One is giant… the rest are catching up quickly. The ones I have in the akadama and growing far less quickly than the ones in regular potting mix though.
