The Royal Poinciana is most commonly propagated by seeds. Seeds are collected, soaked in warm water for at least 24 hours, and planted in warm, moist soil in a semi-shaded, sheltered position. In lieu of soaking, the seeds can also be 'nicked' or 'pinched
_________
How to Nick Seeds
Nicking seeds before planting helps the seeds absorb water, which signals the plant embryo inside to begin the germination process. Nicking plant seeds and then soaking them in water will jump-start germination and get your garden growing faster.
This can be done at home with a pair
of nail clippers. The best place to nick the seed is opposite the
hilum, or point of pod attachment, where you are least likely
to cause damage. Simply make a small, shallow cut using the corner of the nail clippers.

Wet Paper or Paper Towel Method of Germination
Tear a paper towel in half and moisten one of the halves.
Place four or five seeds on half of the paper and fold the other half over the seeds.
Place the paper with seeds inside a transparent plastic box.
Set the box anywhere out of direct sunlight that stays at room temperature. The bag acts like a miniature greenhouse that retains heat and moisture. You should observe seeds sprouting in about five to seven days.
The biggest drawback to the paper towel method is that the delicate, sprouted seeds must be transplanted manually to soil or another moisture-holding medium such as vermiculite. The main root is very delicate and should not be touched. Use tweezers on the seed body or the cotyledons when moving them to moist soil.
Do not push the seed into the soil. Instead, make a hole in the soil for the entire root, hold it in place and push soil gently over it. If the seed is already showing true leaves, make sure those remain above the soil. In a few weeks, the seedlings should be ready for outdoor planting if the weather has warmed up.
