Bauhinia racemosa , commonly known as Yellow Bauhinia or Yellow Orchid Tree, is a captivating flowering tree native to tropical regions. Its distinctive, bilobed leaves resemble butterfly wings, creating an intriguing foliage pattern. In late winter to early spring, the tree becomes adorned with cascading racemes of fragrant, bright yellow flowers that resemble orchids, hence its name. This tree can grow up to 20 meters in height, forming a graceful canopy. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for gardens in warm climates. The Yellow Bauhinia’s spectacular flowers and unique foliage add a touch of elegance and charm to landscapes while attracting pollinators with their nectar-rich blooms. Zones 9-11 Germination To germinate Bauhinia racemosa seeds, first, scarify the hard seed coat to enhance water absorption and improve germination. This can be achieved by gently rubbing the seeds with sandpaper or nicking them with a knife. After scarification, soak the seeds in room temperature water for 24 hours to further soften the seed coat. Next, prepare a seed starting tray or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them into the mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Place the tray or pots in a warm location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 70-80°F (21-27°C). Germination typically occurs within 4-6 weeks, but it can take longer, so be patient. Once the seedlings emerge, provide them with ample light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions if transplanting. Bauhinia racemosa prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Continue to care for the seedlings with proper watering and light as they grow into mature plants.
