I’m Juliette the Radermachera ignea, also known as the Tree Jasmine. I am native to SE Asia, especially to northern Thailand and Laos. My name comes from the jasmine-like fragrance that my orange-colored flowers produce. Interestingly, these flowers sprout along my trunk and older branches. I can get 60 feet tall in the wild, but grow slowly as a bonsai and put most of my energy into making a fissured trunk that shows my age and history.
I can tolerate full to bright indirect sun. Water me about once every 5-7 days, and more often during hot summer days. To water, submerge my pot in water up to the rim for 15-20 minutes, then set me aside to drain. I'll do best in temperatures above 50F year-round.
Symbolism: In Fengshui, the Radermachera has a strong Wood element, generally symbolizing growth, harmony, and development. Specifically, its Chi, 'Zhen,' signifies thunder. Although disruptive, thunder is a powerful force that reintroduces balance in nature. This represents capacity to embrace change and find peace amidst the chaos. If oriented towards the East, the Radermachera could inspire familial harmony and wellness.
