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

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
