The jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia) is a tropical beauty with fern-like leaves and fragrant, purple blooms.

The Jacaranda needs a lot of light and the temperatures should not fall under 15° C / 59° F. Especially when they are planted in a bonsai pot, Jacaranda trees must be protected from lower temperatures.

Container grown jacaranda trees will need to be planted in 20l or larger pots filled with a sandy loam potting mix. Excellent draining soil is essential to the health and vigor of potted jacarandas. The soil should be kept moist, but not soggy, throughout the active growing season.
