Jaboticaba Update

Looking over my blog, I noticed that it has been almost exactly six months since I potted up my jaboticaba plants. While their growth isn't nearly as explosive as my cherimoyas (updated to follow), they certainly have put out quite a bit of foliage! There was a bit of browning on the tips of the older leaves but I attribute this to the low humidity my apartment experienced (despite having a fish tank and humidifier in the room). These plants seem to love water and the more I water them, the happier they seem to be. Based on this and their slow growth, I think they would make an outstanding specimen for an upcoming project, "Paludarium Redux".
