Light Requirements: Prefers full sun. The Illawarra Flame Tree thrives in bright, direct sunlight, which supports healthy growth and prolific flowering.
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Young trees require more frequent watering to establish a strong root system. Once established, the tree is moderately drought-tolerant but benefits from regular deep watering.
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. It can adapt to various soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils, as long as there is good drainage.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Fertilize 2-3 times a year for best results.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged branches to maintain appearance and health. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Temperature and Humidity: Prefers warm temperatures and moderate humidity. The Illawarra Flame Tree is hardy and can tolerate temperatures down to 20°F (-6°C) for short periods.
