Tabebuia avellanedae, also known as Yellow Lapacho or Pink Trumpet Tree, is a tropical tree that can be tricky to germinate due to its hard seed coat.

Here are 5 germination tips to help you get started:
 
Scarify the Seeds: To break the hard seed coat, gently rub the seeds with sandpaper or nick them with a knife. This will allow water to penetrate the seed and trigger germination.
 
Soak the Seeds: After scarification, soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours. This helps soften the seed coat further and increases the chances of successful germination.
 
Warm Germination Temperature: Keep the seeds in a warm environment (around 25-30°C / 77-86°F). A temperature-controlled area, like a propagator or heated mat, can speed up the process.
 
Use Well-Draining Soil: Plant the seeds in a well-draining mix, such as a mix of potting soil, sand, and perlite. Good drainage is crucial to prevent rot.
 
Maintain Moisture: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Mist the soil lightly if necessary to maintain the right moisture levels.
