Jacaranda mimosifolia

Seed Treatment (Pre-Planting Preparation)

  1. Soaking: Soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination.

  2. Stratification: Store seeds in a moist paper towel in the refrigerator for a few weeks.

Planting Instructions

  • Best Planting Time: Spring or early summer.

  • Soil Requirements: Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5.

  • Sunlight: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily).

  • Planting Depth: 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3–6 mm) deep – lightly cover with soil or vermiculite

  • Spacing: 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart if growing multiple seedlings.

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy until germination occurs.

  • Germination Temperature: 70–85°F (21–29°C).

  • Germination Time: 2–8 weeks.

  • Transplanting: Once seedlings reach 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) tall, transplant them to larger pots or their permanent location.

Care After Germination

  • Protect young plants from frost.

  • Water deeply but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

  • Provide ample space for growth, as Jacaranda trees can reach 40–50 feet (12–15 m) tall.
