Jacaranda prefers to grow in a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight, and it is not tolerant of frost, snow, or freezing cold. Therefore, the growing environment for jacaranda is very important, and from this we can also find the factors behind why it does not bloom.

First, it may be insufficient sunlight; a lack of sunshine can lead to insufficient nutrients for growth, thereby affecting the flowering of jacaranda. The care measure for this cause is to place it regularly in a spot with sufficient light, giving it the sunlight needed for growth, which helps it absorb nutrients and bloom.

Second, it may be because of continuous rainy weather in the early stage before flowering, which leads to a lack of sunlight and affects the flowering of jacaranda. The care measure for this cause is that if it rains, try to avoid placing it next to a window to prevent direct cold wind, and it needs to be grown in a warm, shaded place; when light is insufficient, artificial lighting can be used.

Finally, it may be because no freeze-protection measures were taken in winter, since low winter temperatures can easily affect the growth of the flowers. Therefore, in winter it is essential to ensure the environment is warm, place it in a spot where sunlight can reach it, and move it in time when doors and windows are opened to avoid cold wind.

During the Republic of China period, a young lady from a wealthy family, Xiaolan, and a down-and-out scholar Huang Xinying fell in love, but the man was short of money and could not even afford betrothal gifts, so he could only go to the South Seas to seek gold. The two agreed that after three years, whether rich or poor, they would be united forever. After Huang Xinying left, he sent back a jacaranda from the South Seas, and Xiaolan carefully cultivated it in the back garden. Three years later, Xinying had not returned, but Xiaolan received a letter telling her to marry someone else and not wait any longer. The woman was heartbroken and fell seriously ill. Under her family's arrangement, she prepared to marry a high official in the west of the city. Before the wedding, she finally learned from Xinying's mother that Xinying had in fact died of illness long before in the South Seas, and fearing to ruin the woman's life, he had falsely claimed to have changed his heart. Xiaolan followed Xinying in death. Afterward, jacaranda transformed into one upright, waiting tree after another covered with blue flowers.
