Hi,

I managed to get 7 Baobabs from seeds. Also one Flamboyant. In another pot I have a Cotton Tree, not from seed, but from a root.

My guess is that they all don't need much water and also not much fertilizer. After all the conditions in the bush are also rough and dry.

They are in a very sunny place, shadow in the morning and in the evening. Lots of wind in the afternoon and early evening.

Ultimately, I would like to plant two Baobabs in the garden and try to create Bonsais from the others.

Do you have any tips what to do and certainly not to do?

Thanks a lot.
