In its home in the South American tropics, the Jacaranda delights the gardener in January with its beautiful blooms. Since the tree is not hardy and can only be grown indoors in this country, it does not bloom. Because of this, the jacaranda is only cared for for its foliage.
The jacaranda only has a short flowering period in its homeland
The Jacaranda tree blooms in spring
The flowering period of the jacaranda or rosewood tree begins in spring and lasts for two weeks.
However, indoor jacaranda flowers rarely, even with the best care, because they have to reach a certain height for the flowers to form.
A flowering period occasionally occurs in large greenhouses or botanical gardens where the jacaranda tree can grow tall enough.
tips
The Jacaranda tree tolerates pruning well and is therefore often cultivated as a bonsai. When wiring the tree, care must be taken to ensure that the wires are removed in good time before the branches grow thick.
