Browneopsis ucayalina f. red

A red-flowered form of this spectacular Amazonian leguminous tree, prized for its dramatic cauliflorous blooming habit — dense clusters of vivid flowers emerge directly from the trunk and main branches, creating a breathtaking floral display unlike anything seen in temperate horticulture. A rare and extraordinary specimen for tropical plant enthusiasts and collectors.

• Light: Full sun to bright indirect light; thrives with maximum light exposure in tropical and subtropical conditions.
• Temperature: Warm grower. Daytime 75–90°F (24–32°C), nighttime 65–75°F (18–24°C); does not tolerate frost or prolonged cold.
• Humidity: 60–80%; adapts well to typical tropical outdoor humidity but benefits from consistent moisture in drier climates.
• Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings; reduce in cooler or drier periods.

Additional Notes

Found in humid lowland and riparian forests of the Amazon basin; best grown in deep, well-draining, fertile soil with ample space for root and canopy development.
