Sunlight Needs:
Thrives in full sun for best flowering performance. Ensure the tree receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to maximize bloom production and healthy canopy development.

Watering Requirements:
Jacarandas require moderate watering, especially during establishment. Water deeply 1–2 times per week in the first year, then reduce frequency once the tree is established. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Soil Preferences:
Performs best in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. In South Florida, amending native sandy soils with compost can improve nutrient retention. The tree prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels and does not tolerate heavy clay or wet feet.

Fertilization:
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support growth and flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which may encourage leaf growth at the expense of blooms.

Pest & Disease Resistance:
Generally resistant to most pests and diseases. Occasionally susceptible to aphids, scale, or root rot if overwatered. Good air circulation and proper planting depth help minimize issues.

Pruning & Maintenance:
Minimal pruning required beyond shaping and removing dead or crossing branches. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. The tree naturally forms a broad canopy, making it ideal for shade and ornamental use.
