How often and how to water my Jacaranda?

One of the most used trees for ornamental purposes thanks to its exquisite flowering is the jacaranda.

The subject of irrigation of jacarandas is one of the easiest to apply because it is very undemanding around it.

This sometimes leads to forgetting that it needs water to carry out its processes, like all living beings, so the opportunity for more and better flowers is lost.

But that will not happen to you because with the information that we bring you in this post you will be ready to take action without hesitation. Shall we start?

Important points when watering a jacaranda:

Irrigation method: sprinkling, hose or watering can, depending on where the tree is planted.
Optimum time of day for irrigation: in the morning or late afternoon.
