simple method to grow balsa tree

Balsa tree mainly lives in Central America and South America. It grows very fast and it loves the warm and humid living condition. It requires the tropical climates, like high levels of humidity and heat. Different from the common trees, it can reach mature within few months. Here we will introduce the simple method to grow balsa tree.
First of all, you should prepare balsa tree seeds, 4-inch biodegradable pot, potting soil, pencil, drip tray, gravel, plastic wrap, shovel and so forth.
Second, prepare a 4-inch biodegradable pot with potting soil in early spring. Scatter 4 or 5 seeds over the top of the soil. Press the seeds into the soil by using pencil or your fingers. Insert seeds to a depth about 3 times their diameter, and press the soil over the seeds gently.
Third, use a single layer of small gravel to cover the bottom of your drip tray. Set your biodegradable pot on the gravel. Apply a thin stream of water over the surface of the soil in the pot until a few drops of moisture emerge from the bottom of the pot. Place the pot in a location that receives at least 8 hours of sunlight. Add water to the drip tray to keep the soil evenly moist. When the seeds begin to emerge from the soil or when you can see the bud, you should remove the plastic wrap actually.
Fourth, after the balsa tree produce its second set of leaves, you should thin the young seedlings. Pinch off the stems of all but the strongest seedling, leaving just one balsa plant in your pot. Choose a place for your balsa tree that provides good drainage. You can loosen the soil in your selected site by using a shovel to a depth of about 12 to 18 inches. Dig a hole with the same depth as your biodegradable pot. Set the whole pot in the hole and scoop the backfill around the edges.
Fifth, it is better to water it regularly since balsa tree tend to love humid environment. Remove the broken or overgrown branches to avoid introducing fungal and bacterial diseases.
