You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
The large pack of fifty seeds of the African pom pom tree is designed for tropical plant growers, who plan larger seedling production or wish to have a reserve for staggered sowing. Dais cotinifolia is considered one of the national symbolic plants in Southern Africa, and its flowering delights every visitor to botanical gardens. The pink flowering pom poms attract a large number of pollinating insects, including specific species of butterflies and small hummingbirds in their native environment. Fifty seeds allow for raising a sufficient number of seedlings for personal cultivation as well as for sale to interested parties.
The pom pom tree emits a sweet fragrance during flowering, which is used in aromatherapy for its relaxing effects. The flowers contain aromatic volatile substances reaching concentrations of 0.5 to 1 percent dry matter, making them a potential raw material for the production of natural perfumery. Dry flowers can be used in aromatic mixtures, sachets, and pillows for wardrobes. In the Republic of South Africa, handmade soap is locally produced from the flowers, featuring a characteristic delicate perfume scent popular among tourists.
When sowing fifty seeds, it is advisable to use a professional germination greenhouse or polyethylene tunnel to maintain constant moisture and temperature. The seeds undergo 24-hour soaking in warm water and are sown into long planting strips with peat-based substrate. The optimal temperature for germination is 24 to 28 degrees Celsius with humidity over 60 percent. Germination occurs within 3 to 8 weeks and the germination rate reaches 40 to 60 percent. From fifty seeds, it is realistic to raise 20 to 30 healthy seedlings suitable for further cultivation in containers.

From the fifty cultivated seedlings, a smaller collection can gradually be created for a botanical corner of the garden or a commercial offering in a nursery. The pom pom tree is valued in South African agriculture as a honey-producing tree that supports bees and pollinators. To achieve maximum flowering and fragrance production, a location with at least 8 hours of sunlight daily and well-drained soil enriched with sand is recommended. In cooler months, the plant requires temperatures above 5 degrees Celsius and reduced watering. With regular care, the tree will flower annually with an intensity sufficient for producing a small amount of homemade perfumery.
