Ceiba speciosa, commonly known as silk floss tree, is a striking ornamental tree admired for its distinctive trunk, showy flowers and silky fiber around the seeds. The source description mentions traditional uses of this fiber for canoes, paper and rope.

It is especially valued in warm climates for its sculptural presence and flowering display. In regions with cold winters, young plants are often easier to manage in containers with protection during unfavorable weather.

How to sow silk floss tree seeds

Sow the seeds in a loose, airy, well-drained medium and cover them lightly. Keep the seed tray warm and bright, with regular moisture but no waterlogging.

Seedlings benefit from good light and room for root development. Transplant when large enough to handle, taking care with the root ball, and avoid excessive watering as the plant becomes stronger.
