Common name: Pod mahogany Origin: CAMEROON Description: This beautiful tree from Central Africa can't withstand frost, but it is also attractive as a houseplant for its lovely red-black seeds. These seeds are often used in Africa for necklaces and other jewellery. After the green-red flowers, brown woody pods are formed, each containing about 10 seeds. The wood of the tree is well known, because it’s very hard and durable. A mixture made from the roots and the bark would bring luck to African hunters as they wash themselves with it. Germination instructions: Germinate quite easily by sowing them in sowing mix at 25 degrees of Celsius. Keep the soil moist constantly. Sowing time: All year round
