Hi, Shireen:

Jaboticaba (also spelled Jabotacaba) is a wonderful plant for indoors. It
can tolerate surprisingly low light levels - If you have a South window that
gets too hot, just move it across the room! I fyou keep it in the window,
don't forget to turn it so that all sides get equal light.

The only print article I know of is in the BCI magazine, Bonsai May/June
1993 (about 3 pages)

The issue can be ordered at

http://www.bonsai-bci.com/backsale/backsale.html

There is also a species guide at:

In the summer, it will be happier out of doors in light shade.

Where are you located?

Subject: [IBC] Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) tips?


Hi again ... another question ...

I saw a plant at a local nursery that really
caught my eye: Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora).
It already looked like a miniature tree, with
exquisite branching and lovely small leaves.

I plan to keep it indoors all year round,
perched on a window sill facing south. (This
location was recommended by the store's plant
guru.) Does anyone have experience with this
plant as an indoor bonsai?

thanks!
shireen
