Common name: Desert Bird of Paradise / Bird of Paradise bush Origin: Argentina and Uruguay Description: The desert bird of paradise originates from Argentina and Uruguay, but now also grows in other parts of South America and in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Especially the flowers with yellow petals and long, red stamens are attractive, as well as the pinnate leaves which gracefully close in the evening. The pods are covered with red hairs and are poisonous. In the Amazon, the pods and seeds are used against fever and other diseases/medical issues. In a sheltered spot, the species could possibly be winter-hardy in Western Europe. The plant loses it leaves at frost.
Germination instructions: First soak the seeds overnight in lukewarm water. Then sow them in sowing mix and let them germinate at 25degC. Germination can occur in less than a week. Sowing time: All year round Photo 1: BoethingTreeland.com Photo 2: Javier Martin

Na een paar dagen al kwam er 1 plantje naar boven. De rest is niet uitgekomen (na een maand). Het zaadje dat het wel gehaald heeft doet het heel goed. Hele leuke bladeren die 's nachts inklappen en als het licht wordt weer uitklappen.
