🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Prefers full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Best suited to open, sunny outdoor locations.

💧 Watering:

Water regularly during the establishment stage to encourage healthy root development. Once established, the tree becomes more tolerant of moderate dry periods.

Water deeply according to soil and weather conditions, monitoring moisture more frequently during hot summer months. Avoid prolonged waterlogging around the roots.

🪴 Soil:

Prefers well-draining sandy or loamy soil and adapts to various soil types, including moderately fertile conditions. Good drainage is essential for healthy root growth.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in warm to hot tropical and subtropical climates. It is sensitive to frost, so young trees should be protected from freezing temperatures and severe cold.

🍃 Humidity:

Adapts to moderate humidity and relatively dry conditions with appropriate watering. Regular leaf misting is generally unnecessary, and good air circulation is recommended.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Generally requires minimal fertilization when grown in suitable soil. Apply a moderate amount of organic compost or a balanced fertilizer during the growing season if needed, following the product instructions and soil requirements.

✂️ Pruning:

Light structural pruning during early growth helps develop a strong trunk and balanced branches. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches as needed. Pruning is generally best performed after flowering, while avoiding excessive cutting.

🌸 Blooming Season:

Golden Shower Tree produces beautiful cascading clusters of golden-yellow flowers during warm growing seasons, generally from spring through summer, depending on local climate.

Flowering intensity and timing depend on the tree's maturity, sunlight exposure, and growing conditions.

🌿 Growth Habit:

This tree is deciduous to semi-deciduous and may naturally shed some or most of its leaves during certain seasonal periods before producing fresh foliage.

Following flowering, it develops long, cylindrical seed pods that gradually turn from green to dark brown as they mature.

📏 Product Dimensions:

• Tree Height: 300 cm.

• Pot Height: 30 cm.

⚠️ Planting & Safety Guidelines:

Golden Shower Tree requires adequate space for its canopy and roots to develop as it matures. Plant at a suitable distance from buildings and other structures.

The tree produces seed pods containing poisonous seeds. Keep seeds and pods away from children and pets, and do not consume any part of the plant without qualified professional guidance.

📌 Please Note:

Tree size, foliage density, branching structure, and flower quantity may naturally vary from the images shown due to differences in growth stages, seasonal changes, and individual growing conditions.

The tree may be supplied without flowers or with reduced foliage during certain seasons. Flowering depends on plant maturity, sunlight exposure, temperature, watering, and proper care. Young trees may take several years before producing their first blooms.
