Tabebuia aurea is a species of Tabebuia native to South America in Suriname, Brazil, eastern Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The common English name Caribbean trumpet tree is misleading, as it is not native to the Caribbean. It is also known as the silver trumpet tree, and tree of gold.
Although it thrives only in warmer climates, it can be also be grown in containers, especially small ones, which eventually can turn the tree into a large bonsai specimen.
Before sowing, clean the seeds. It should be sown into a well-drained, sandy compost at any time of the year, and covered thinly with sand or grit and kept moist. Keep at between 20-25 degrees celsius (68-77 degrees fahrenheit). Seeds sometimes germinate within 4 to 6 weeks although some may take very much longer so please be patient. Plant out in the open ground in warmer countries or in a large container elsewhere.
General Instructions (English)
If you don’t have a seed spreader, greenhouse, or similar equipment, follow these steps:
Fill a container with good drainage using a mix of peat and perlite.
Moisten the substrate, ensuring it’s damp but not soaked.
Plant the seeds and cover them lightly with the substrate.
Place the container or pot inside a polyethylene bag (a ziplock bag works well and is available at supermarkets).
This method will provide the ideal temperature and humidity for the germination phase.
Keep the seeds in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight.
Open the bag every 2–3 days to check the moisture level and see if any seeds have germinated. This also allows for air exchange, preventing unwanted fungi.
After germination, carefully transfer the seedlings to individual pots, taking care not to damage the delicate roots.
Acclimatize the seedlings for 4–12 weeks before transplanting them to their final location.
Transplant only on cloudy days to reduce stress on the seedlings.
Prepare the planting pit 2–4 weeks in advance by adding the necessary fertilizers for optimal growth.
