Planting Instructions
Timing: Baobab seeds can be planted year-round in tropical and subtropical climates. In cooler climates, start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring.
Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the hard seed coat and improve germination rates.
Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining, sandy soil mix to mimic the baobab’s natural habitat. Ensure the soil is loose and aerated.
Sowing: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in the prepared soil. Space seeds 3-5 feet apart if planting directly outdoors.
Sunlight: Baobab trees thrive in full sun. Provide at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Growing and Care
Watering: Water the seeds sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Baobab trees are drought-tolerant and do not require frequent watering once established.
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C), for optimal seed germination and growth.
Transplanting: If started indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they are large enough to handle and after the threat of frost has passed.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as baobabs are adapted to nutrient-poor soils.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged branches to maintain a healthy structure.
