Brachychiton rupestris, commonly known as the Queensland Bottle Tree, is a unique and striking tree native to Australia. Here's how to care for it:

Light: Plant in full sun to light shade. It prefers plenty of sunlight for optimal growth and flowering.

Temperature: Queensland Bottle Trees are drought-tolerant and can handle high temperatures. They can also withstand some cold.

Watering: Once established, these trees are drought-resistant. Water deeply and thoroughly during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter). Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. The tree can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy or loamy soils, but it should not be waterlogged.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is usually required. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a healthy shape.

Pest and Disease: These trees are relatively pest and disease resistant. However, monitor for any signs of pests like aphids or mealybugs and treat as needed.

Tips: Remember that Brachychiton rupestris is a slow-growing tree, so be patient with its growth and adapt care based on your specific climate and conditions.

Indonesian Petrified Wood Stone Sink

18"W x 15.5"D x 6"H - Indonesia - Stone

The story behind petrified wood is almost as old as history itself. It begins with a volcano erupting on one of the 17,000 archipelagos in Indonesia. The trees blown into river beds become covered in sediment and ash. Then over just a couple million years, the wood turns to stone! However, it isn't just any stone. It is as if nature slowly decided with all that time to create individual pieces of art. When you invest in one of these sinks, you get a piece of history. You get an object of art that will always be something you cherish! You get a gift from nature, which just so happens to be as beautiful. This sink has the beautiful natural texture on the outer surrounding sides, but the inner portion has been polished to perfection and for functionality.
