QLD Bottle Tree (Brachychiton rupestris) in Red Faux Bois Planter with Original Patina

Faux bois means false wood, which is what this stump like, little specimen is. A beautiful pop of interest and colour in your home. 

Height: 1.4m

Pot Diameter: 250mm

Native to Central QLD. Wet and Dry Seasons.

With plant care, we are trying as best we can to emulate the plant's natural environment in our homes.

Medium to Bright Indirect Light Indoors.

From October to March, water thoroughly and then allow the top 10cm of soil to dry out, emulating the wetter conditions of a QLD summer and the season in which the tree is growing and active. In the cooler, drier months, pull back watering to allow the rootball to totally dry out as the tree goes semi dormant. During this dry season, the tree naturally will lose some of its leaves. Interestingly, it is one of the few native plants to exhibit a semi deciduous nature.
