Tabebuia rosea prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot and other water-related issues.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 to support the tree's growth. Fertilize during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy development.Repotting
Repotting is generally not required for Tabebuia rosea as it is a large tree. However, if grown in a container during its early stages, repotting may be necessary to accommodate its growth. Ensure the new container has good drainage and use a well-draining soil mix.Propagation
