Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation:
Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat.
Sowing:
Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep.
Space seeds at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F).
Germination typically occurs within 4-8 weeks.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots.
Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them in a sheltered area for a week before planting them in their permanent location.
Care and Maintenance:
Water young trees regularly to establish a strong root system.
Once established, Dragon Blood Trees are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering.
Prune to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain a desired shape.
Protect young trees from frost and extreme cold.
