How to Grow Jacaranda from Seed: A Guide
Growing a jacaranda tree from seed is a rewarding way to cultivate this beautiful flowering tree. The seeds are found in the woody, disc-shaped pods that form after the flowers fade. While jacaranda seeds are generally easy to germinate, soaking them in water for 24 hours can help speed up the process by softening the protective outer coating.
To plant, use a quality seed-raising mix in pots or trays. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly cover them with the mix, no more than 1 cm deep. Jacaranda seeds need warmth and consistent moisture to germinate, so maintain a soil temperature between 20-24°C and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks. Once the seedlings are sturdy enough to handle, you can transplant them into larger pots. Be aware that jacaranda grown from seed can be variable in their flowering, and it may take several years for the tree to produce its signature purple blossoms. Provide the young tree with a sunny, sheltered position and protect it from frost, especially in cooler climates.
