Please Help About Tabebuia Seeds

Question

Can you PLEASE help me? I bought some Tabebuia Avellandae seeds from India to Australia and I have tried EVERYTHING to germinate the seeds and nothing has worked! I’ve tried putting the whole seed in soil and covered in platic bag in sun, and the swwd just went mouldy. I tried taking the dark seeds out of the shell thing and planting that and still nothing 😔

Answer 1

Try again to germinate them in a bag of light potting soil, but reduce the moisture and open the bag every couple of days to let air in. Place the bag on a sunny windowsill but not in full sun or outside.

Here is more on the care of the tree. One publication has a photo of the seeds; you can see if that is what you have:
