Complete Care Guide

Detailed care instructions for growing your Jabuticaba seedling successfully

Watering

Needs consistent moisture, with annual rainfall between 1200 to 2000mm being ideal. Irrigation is essential in drier regions to maintain consistent moisture. Mulching helps retain soil moisture. Water thoroughly after planting.

Sunlight

Plant in a spot with plenty of sunlight. Full sun exposure is preferred for optimal growth and fruiting.

Soil Requirements

Well-drained, slightly acidic soil. The jabuticaba tree is relatively resistant to serious pest and disease problems when provided with proper care, such as well-drained, slightly acidic soil and good air circulation.

Temperature

Prefers warm, humid climates with temperatures between 20-28°C. Best at altitudes between 0-1,200 meters.

Fertilizer

Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Apply organic manure and balanced NPK for optimal growth.

Spacing

4-5 meters between trees to allow for proper growth and development.

Time to Fruit

3-5 years from planting. While self-fertile, having more than one tree can increase fruit yield.

Overwatering/Waterlogging

Improve soil drainage immediately. Reduce watering frequency. Ensure proper spacing and avoid compacted soil. Consider raised beds for better drainage.

Aphid Infestation

Spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs. Remove affected leaves and maintain good air circulation. Control ants that protect aphids.

Scale Insects

Use horticultural oil or neem oil during dormant season. Prune heavily infested branches. Maintain plant health to reduce susceptibility. Scrape off scales manually for small infestations.
