GENERAL INFORMATION

• Sterculia colorata, the scarlet sterculia (also known as bonfire tree, colored sterculia and Indian almond), is a medium-sized tree with spreading branches. It sheds leaves before the onset of flowering. After leaf-shedding, buds sprout and develop into flowers. The tree flowers from March to April.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Sterculia Colorata does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
• By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
• To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sterculia Colorata after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
