About this Large Flowering Jaboticaba Bonsai, 16 Years Old (Plinia cauliflora)
16 years old and 20 to 21 inches tall. The Jaboticaba, Eugenia cauliflora, comes from southern Brazil and belongs to the myrtle family, which makes it a relation of the guava. Its species name is the informative part: cauliflora refers to flowering and fruiting directly on the trunk and older wood rather than at the shoot tips. In bloom the bark all but disappears beneath clustered white bloom, a habit few other trees can offer. Grown indoors, the trunk develops the pale, flaking surface typical of the species.
Jaboticaba bonsai care
This is a living Jaboticaba (Plinia cauliflora). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoors in warm seasons/climates; indoor (bright, humid) in cold climates over winter
- Light
- Bright light to full sun; bright indirect light indoors near a sunny window
- Water
- Wet-leaning: keep the rootball evenly moist, never bone-dry; loves humidity, but must drain (overwatering rots roots)
- USDA zones
- 9b to 11 (tender; protect/bring indoors below ~30°F / -1°C)
- #1 cause of death
- Root rot from overwatering, OR cold/dry-air shock, plus chronic low humidity and chlorosis from hard/alkaline water
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Jaboticaba bonsai care guide.
