How to fertilize Jacaranda
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jacaranda after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hi guys, we just got this tree this week. We repotted it and place it indoors, under a window that does not have direct sunlight. The leaves started to drop with the slightest movement. The leaves are not brown but they're dropping.. #Jacaranda

Deep purple short Jacarandas I have a space in front of my house, about 6m from my house where I would love a Jacaranda, but can't risk something growing 10m tall, but I would like at least something 3m tall to take up the space. This means the Jacaranda Bonsai Blue might be too small, some estimates are 1.5m to 2.5 or 3m tall. There is also middle height tree called a Jacaranda Jasminodes, which comes in 2 colours maroon and dark purple 💜. They grow 2.4m to 8m tall. The maroon seems popular, but I love the dark purple Jacarandas. One said they were bought from xoto Tropico in LA USA, has anyone seen these in Australia? #jacaranda #purplevelvetplant #queensland #helpmenamemyplant

Seedling brown leaves Hello, my plants leaves are slowly going brown and falling off. This only happens to the most bottom leaves. The plant is still growing and getting new leaves. I only give them water once a week(pretty much only when needed). They are 5 months old

I don't understand My trees are all turning to a crisp. They're watered plenty. Roots seem to be alright too... What's going on!? I am treating for fungus gnats. Intensely. They're driving me insane. So I have neem oil, and peppermint in the spray bottles. And doing mosquito dunk water once a week-ish. But all of those things I read were fine for my plants #whatshappening #driedup #bonsai #blacklocust #pigeonpea #delonixregia #Jacaranda #succulents #pandaplant
