At Losteflor, we are passionate about the beauty and elegance of plants, and one of the trees that really stands out in our nursery is the Flamboyan, known scientifically as Delonix Regia and popularly as the “Flame Tree”.
This tropical tree, with its striking red flowers and parasol-shaped canopy, is a perfect choice for those who wish to add a touch of exoticism and color to their gardens in Chiclana, Cadiz and throughout Spain. What Makes Flamboyan So Special? The Flamboyant is known for its impressive orange-red bloom that completely covers the tree during spring and summer, creating a visual spectacle that few other trees can match.
Its green, feathery leaves and parasol-like structure not only offer aesthetic appeal, but also cool, dense shade, ideal for hot Mediterranean summers.
Characteristics of the Flamboyant -Height: It can reach between 5 and 12 meters in height. Flowering: Large, showy, orange-red flowers, which bloom in spring and summer. -Leaves: Compound and bright green, providing a feathery and delicate appearance. Canopy: Wide and parasol-shaped, providing dense, cooling shade.
Flamboyant Tree Cultivation and Care The Flamboyant Tree is relatively easy to care for, provided it is given the right conditions: 1.
Location: It is a tropical tree that enjoys warm climates.
It can grow in various climatic zones, but the ideal temperatures for its growth range between 10º and 35ºC.
It is important to protect it from frost, as it does not tolerate extreme temperatures.
Light: It needs full sun to bloom strongly.
Place it in a location where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: -Winter: Water once a week to keep the soil slightly moist. -Summer: Increase watering frequency to every other day, as high temperatures increase water evaporation.
Substrate: Prefers well-drained soils rich in organic matter.
A mixture of black peat, perlite and worm castings is ideal for promoting healthy, vigorous growth.
