I have tried about 5 rounds of Delonix regia. I can get almost 100% germination and they grow for about 2-3 months, get 3-4 sets of leaves on and then yellow and drop leaves. This cycle keeps going until they run out of energy and die. I've tried watering more, watering less, more humidity, less humidity, more lights. Nothing seems to change, they just keep yellowing and dying. I just got done with a batch i had outside in the summer and they just die inside for some reason. It's about the only Tropical tree i've tried i can't grow. Some things drop leaves but then regrow and it's fine due to the stress of moving it inside. I give up on that tree...it's a shame, i really like them and they grow fast.
