DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien

Ceiba insignis thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers warm temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The tree benefits from moderate humidity and should be protected from frost. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.

Sol

Ceiba insignis prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, especially during the rainy season.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize sparingly, as excessive nutrients can harm the tree.

Rempotage

Repotting is necessary for young trees every 2-3 years to provide adequate space for root growth. When repotting, choose a slightly larger pot and ensure good drainage. For mature trees, repotting is less frequent but may be needed if the tree becomes root-bound.

Propagation

Ceiba insignis can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in well-draining soil and kept warm and moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken during the growing season and rooted in a suitable medium.

Taille

Pruning should be done during the dormant season to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the tree.

Toxicité

Ceiba insignis is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, the thorns on the trunk can cause physical injury, so care should be taken when handling the tree.

Supplémentaire

Ceiba insignis is a visually striking tree that can be a focal point in a garden or landscape. Its ability to store water in its trunk makes it well-suited to dry climates. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is recommended to ensure the tree remains healthy.
