Agricultural technology for growing Jacaranda seeds
Jacaranda mimosifolia is a fast-growing tree native to tropical and subtropical regions of South America. The plant is known for its beautiful lilac flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer.
1. Choosing a landing site
Jacaranda prefers well-lit places protected from the wind. The plant can grow in sun or partial shade, but in hot regions it is better to plant it in partial shade. Jacaranda does not tolerate standing water, so it is important to plant it in elevated areas or in areas with good drainage.
2. Soil
Jacaranda prefers fertile soil with good drainage. Before planting, it is necessary to dig the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm and add organic fertilizers (humus, compost, peat).
3. Landing
Jacaranda can be planted from seeds, cuttings or seedlings.
Sowing seeds: Jacaranda seeds are sown in open ground in the spring, when the soil temperature reaches +10 °C. The seeding depth is 2-3 cm. The seeding rate is 20-30 seeds per 1 m².
Cuttings: Jacaranda cuttings are cut at the beginning of summer and planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse. Rooting occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Planting seedlings: Jacaranda seedlings are planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Seedlings are planted at a distance of 2-3 m from each other.
4. Jacaranda care
Watering: Jacaranda needs regular watering, especially in hot weather. It is necessary to water the plants abundantly, without allowing the soil to dry out.
Feeding: Jacaranda needs regular feeding. Plants need to be fed 2-3 times a month during the growing season. Mineral or organic fertilizers are used for fertilizing.
Pruning: Jacaranda does not need pruning. However, it can be carried out to form the crown of a tree. Pruning is carried out in spring or autumn.
Diseases and Pests: Jacaranda is relatively resistant to diseases and pests. However, in some cases, plants may be attacked by the following pests:
- Spider mite: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
- Aphids: the pest feeds on the sap of leaves, causing the leaves to become deformed and fall off. Insecticides are used to control the pest.
5. Reproduction
Jacaranda is propagated by seeds, cuttings or layering.
Seed propagation: Seed propagation is carried out in the spring.
Cuttings: Cuttings are carried out throughout the growing season.
Layering: Layering can be done in spring or autumn.
Jacaranda is used for landscaping parks, gardens and other areas. The plant is also well suited for growing in containers.
Additional Tips
- For abundant flowering of jacaranda, it is necessary to provide it with a sufficient amount of sun and heat.
- Jacaranda tolerates short-term droughts well, but during long periods without watering it can lose its leaves.
- In cold regions, jacaranda must be covered for the winter. For shelter, you can use spruce branches, burlap or agrofibre.
