Hi,

I've got a jacaranda grown from seeds 9 years ago. It grows very fast so I had to prune it a few years ago. Now the plant has started to flower which I am very happy about. However I see some flowers starting to dry up and perish. Some don't. The remaining flowers still have to open up. There is a light purple color noticeable. What happened with the dead flowers?

I keep the plant in a pot and during summer it stays outside in full sun. In winter I keep it inside in the brightest and coolest place I have at about 60.8F (16°C).

In winter I did not give much water but now when it's blooming I tend to give more and sometimes with fertilizer.

During good days, I keep the plant outside now but at night I keep it inside.

I do have to tell that I made one crucial beginner's mistake, which I have never done before . A few weeks ago I put the plant outside for the first time this year with lots of sunshine. I never do this with my plants but somehow this time I did not realize as I was so happy with the flowers.

thank you for your replies

best regards

Yves
