This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.
I’m Gilly, the Brazilian Rain Tree, and native to the Brazil rainforests. I am a hardwood tree known for my small leaves that usually close up at night, or when agitated too much. I get fragrant, puffy flowers when I'm older. I am a symbol of transformation and life cycles, much like the rainforest itself. Keep me in a location that has partial or full sun a few hours a day. I don't suffer from overwatering, so when in doubt, give me a soak.
To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 15 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Do this about once every 5-7 days, more often when very hot or dry. I like temperatures between 50-80˚F all year and humidity in winter. On nice days you can even take me outside, where I’d love to feel the wind through my leaves.
Symbolism: The Brazilian Raintree is a cultural icon; its ability to thrive in diverse environment mirrors the perseverance that lies in the heart of Brazilian culture.
