Finding light for blackwood in your home

Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of blackwood in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize blackwood

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 blackwood after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
