are there any wiring technique resources you found particularly useful for DR trees or was it more so trail and error?

I 've grown Delonix regia indoors in colder climates, it's hard to keep the temp/humidity right for them without a special setup. If not they either yellow or drop leaves until they run out of energy. At least that has been my experience with these and some full tropical trees, especially compound leaves. It's like Mad Tabby said, they don't seem to like changes. I can move most semi-tropical/tropical trees outdoors when it's warm enough with little stress, I've always had problems with those. More power to you if you can get them to thrive indoors. The dropping leaves is normal for those, even with good grow lights and trying to keep up the humidity.

I managed to grow 4 Delonix Regia trees here in New Zealand ( about 1 foot height ) I forgot about them over the Winter and they all died .
Hope to get more seeds when I get to India

I snapped mine in half whilst wiring. Definitely a lesson learned there
