Hello All,

I'm from the Pacific Northwest and I'm new to the forum and new to bonsai. My wife got me a bonsai kit about a month ago that had Delonix Regia seeds in it. I had three sprout in a 4" peat pot. When they all got to about 6" tall I repotted two in separate, squat, 6" plastic pots, and one in a gallon sized pot. It was what I had at the time. Now on two of them the first leaves are turning yellow and the trunks are starting to turn brownish, which I'm assuming means the tree is starting to harden up and grow bark. They're approximately a month old.

My main questions are: Should I just let them grow over the winter and repot in the spring? Should I start pruning and/or wiring now? I've been doing some research on Delonix Regia and most people seem to think they're difficult to impossible to keep as bonsai, and they can withstand a lot of different conditions.

Does anyone have experience growing Delonix Regia from seed? If so when did you start pruning and have you had success with the tree as a bonsai?

Thank you for any help!

Hello, I've planted my Delonix from seeds to, but in my country I only have to seasons, rainy season and dry season, no winter so I can't help you in that question but, mine grew perfectly and you? should keep them in a big pot so that they can grow naturally for a while and by the second to third year start wiring and stuff. The Delonix has a weird growing stile so you just have to be pascient for at least two-three years!

Thanks Salomon284! That's the conclusion I've come to as well. Gonna have to get some bigger pots.
