Bauhinia Monandra

Bauhinia monandra, commonly known as the One-Leaved Orchid Tree, is a stunning flowering tree native to tropical Asia. It is valued for its vibrant, orchid-like flowers and elegant foliage, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens.

This medium-sized tree typically grows up to 10 meters in height, featuring distinctive, glossy leaves that are often heart-shaped and deeply lobed. The tree’s most striking feature is its large, showy flowers, which are typically purple to pink with a delicate, orchid-like shape. These flowers are borne in clusters, creating a spectacular display during the blooming season.

Bauhinia monandra thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is a relatively low-maintenance tree that is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during dry periods.

This species is ideal for gardens, parks, and streetscapes, where its colorful flowers can attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It also provides dense shade with its broad canopy, making it suitable for providing shelter in larger landscapes.

With its vibrant flowers and elegant growth habit, Bauhinia monandra adds a touch of exotic beauty to any garden or landscape, making it an eye-catching and rewarding tree to grow.

Germination Bauhinia is easily propagated from seed. First, you can scarify the seeds, but this is not a must. Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep in sandy well drained potting soil, placed in a warm position and kept moist, not soaking wet. Germination should occur within 3-4 weeks but it can take longer, don't give up. The process can be speeded up by soaking the seed overnight in hot water.
Scarification / Stratification Seed coats may be so hard that they are impermeable to water. They need to be scratched or broken using a knife or sandpaper, in order to germinate. Chip the seeds with a sharp knife or make a few swipes with a sharp edged file or use sandpaper to allow moisture being more readily absorbed.
