Bixa orellana | Anatto | Lipstick Tree | 20 Seeds

Description: Bixa orellana, commonly known as Anatto or lipstick tree, is a tropical shrub or small tree native to the Americas, particularly the Amazon rainforest. It typically grows to a height of 6 to 10 meters (20 to 33 feet) and features heart-shaped, glossy green leaves. The tree produces clusters of attractive pink or white flowers, each with numerous stamens. The most distinctive characteristic of Bixa orellana is its spiky, reddish-brown seed pods, which contain numerous small, reddish-orange seeds. These seeds are the source of annatto, a natural dye and pigment used in food, cosmetics, and textiles. Lipstick seeds are rich in carotenoids, particularly bixin and norbixin, giving them their vibrant color. The plant thrives in well-drained soils with ample sunlight and can be found in various tropical regions around the world. Zones 10-11 Germination Germinating seeds of Bixa orellana, the Lipstick tree, involves a few specific steps to ensure successful growth. The seeds have a hard outer coat that benefits from scarification, a process that involves nicking or lightly sanding the seed coat to improve water absorption. After scarification, the seeds should be soaked in warm water for 24 hours to further enhance germination. Once prepared, the seeds should be sown in a well-draining, fertile soil mix, ideally composed of loam, sand, and organic matter. Plant the seeds about 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) deep and maintain a consistent moisture level without waterlogging the soil. Providing a warm environment with temperatures around 25-30°C (77-86°F) and good light exposure is crucial for optimal germination. Under these conditions, seeds typically germinate within 2 to 8 weeks. It's important to protect the young seedlings from pests and diseases and gradually acclimate them to full sun as they grow. With proper care, Bixa orellana can develop into a robust plant, ready for transplantation to its final growing location.
