Cassia Fistula (Purging Cassia/Indian Laburnum/Pudding-Pipe Tree/Golden Shower Tree)

It’s a stunning ornamental tree that’s often used in parks and gardens.

Plant Care:

1. Light: Thrives in full sun. The more sunlight it receives, the more flowers it will produce.
2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot, dry weather. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Use lukewarm water to avoid shocking the roots.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A peat-based mix is often suitable.
4. Fertilizing: Feed your Delonix Regia with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half strength and apply it once a month.  
5. Pruning: Prune regularly to maintain its shape and promote flowering. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
