Care Guide for Jacaratia

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Native to tropical regions, jacaratia prefers high humidity and regular rainfall, thriving with consistent moisture. Watering should occur every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry slightly. Its growth cycle is influenced by seasonal rains in warm climates.

Propagation: Propagation of jacaratia is primarily through seeds. Key factors for germination include warm temperatures (25-30°C), consistent moisture, and well-draining soil. Scarifying the hard seed coat can enhance germination. Moderate difficulty may arise from seed availability and viability. Transplant seedlings once established.
