The plant stands out with elegant, \u003cstrong\u003edoubly pinnate leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e up to \u003cstrong\u003e30 cm long\u003c\/strong\u003e, which, with their delicate nature, resemble mimosa leaves. This feature gives the whole plant lightness and grace, making it an exceptionally attractive ornament both in container cultivation and as an interior design element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eDistinctive Flowering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe greatest asset of \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eCaesalpinia pulcherrima\u003c\/strong\u003e is its extraordinary flowers, which are a true decoration of any exotic plant collection. Gathered in \u003cstrong\u003eupright clusters up to 40 cm long\u003c\/strong\u003e, individual flowers reach a diameter of \u003cstrong\u003e5–8 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e and display a wealth of colors – from intense red, through vibrant oranges, to warm yellows, often with contrasting petal edges. Particularly characteristic are the \u003cstrong\u003elong, curved stamens\u003c\/strong\u003e reaching up to \u003cstrong\u003e10 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the flowers an exotic, \"bird-like\" appearance and make the plant attract attention from afar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe flowering period lasts \u003cstrong\u003efrom summer to autumn\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing long-lasting decorative appeal. After flowering, the plant produces \u003cstrong\u003eflat, brown pods about 12 cm long\u003c\/strong\u003e, which also serve as an interesting decorative element. It is worth noting that unlike many ornamental plants, the flowers do not emit a scent, which can be an advantage for people sensitive to strong aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eGrowth and Shaping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eUnder optimal conditions, \u003cstrong style=\"color:#656B39;\"\u003eCaesalpinia pulcherrima\u003c\/strong\u003e is characterized by a \u003cstrong\u003efast growth rate\u003c\/strong\u003e, increasing by as much as \u003cstrong\u003e30–50 cm per year\u003c\/strong\u003e. In container cultivation, it usually reaches a height of \u003cstrong\u003e1.5–2 m\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining a compact form through regular pruning. This care practice not only controls the plant’s size but also stimulates more abundant flowering, as flowers develop mainly on young shoots. The plant responds well to systematic fertilization with fertilizers for flowering plants applied from spring to autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eCultivation Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThis species prefers \u003cstrong\u003efull sun\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ewell-drained, slightly alkaline soil\u003c\/strong\u003e. In its tropical native regions, it is an evergreen plant, but in cooler temperate zones, it may shed leaves in winter, regrowing them in spring. The optimal growth temperature ranges between \u003cstrong\u003e20–30°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. The plant tolerates short-term temperature drops to \u003cstrong\u003e0°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, but freezing damage occurs already at \u003cstrong\u003e-3°C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eDuring winter, it requires a \u003cstrong\u003ebright room with temperatures of 10–15°C\u003c\/strong\u003e and significantly \u003cstrong\u003ereduced watering\u003c\/strong\u003e. In warmer months, the plants can be placed on terraces or balconies, providing protection from excessively intense midday sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14pt;\"\u003eUses and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eFor bonsai enthusiasts, Peacock Flower offers interesting material – flexible shoots and small leaves allow shaping attractive miniature trees. In winter gardens or greenhouses, it can serve as an impressive solitary specimen, and the decorative pods maintain ornamental value even after flowering ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eThe species is \u003cstrong\u003esensitive to spider mites\u003c\/strong\u003e in dry air, so occasional leaf misting is recommended. At the same time, the plant tolerates both occasional drought and temporary excess water, making it a good choice for those starting their adventure with exotic plants. Although in nature it serves as fodder and a source of wood, in temperate climates it primarily functions as an ornamental plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mr.seed","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":52461537984840,"sku":"1108","price":4.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":52461538017608,"sku":"1109","price":8.3,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"50","offer_id":52461538050376,"sku":"1110","price":39.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"100","offer_id":52461538083144,"sku":"1111","price":74.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"500","offer_id":52461538115912,"sku":"1112","price":294.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000","offer_id":52461538148680,"sku":"1113","price":484.5,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2649\/0440\/files\/1522.jpg?v=1770321339","url":"https:\/\/www.mrseed.eu\/en\/products\/nasiona-brezylki-nadobnej-caesalpinia-pulcherrima","provider":"mr.seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
