Planting Guide

1. Seed Preparation (Important)

• Acacia Mangium seeds have a hard coat.

• Pour hot water (not boiling) over seeds and soak for 12–24 hours.

• Seeds that swell during soaking are ready for planting.

2. Sowing Depth

• Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil.

3. Light & Temperature

• Keep in a warm location with temperatures between 70–85°F.

• Provide full sunlight once seedlings emerge.

4. Watering

• Keep soil lightly moist until germination.

• Reduce watering once seedlings are well-established.

5. Transplanting

• Transplant outdoors once seedlings reach 6–8 inches.

• Choose full-sun areas with space for vertical growth.

6. Long-Term Care

• Minimal pruning required.

• Mulch around base to maintain soil moisture.

• Avoid frost exposure as young plants are sensitive.

7. Growth Timeline

• Rapid vertical growth begins within the first year.

• Suitable for timber harvest in long-term plantation cycles.
