Theobroma Buy Cacao Tree / Buy Cacao Tree / Buy Cacao Plant P9 Pot

We sowed and cultivated this cacao tree ourselves. He came to us as a cacao seed and we grew a beautiful cacao tree in our greenhouse on Dutch soil. The tree is very happy to be in your home or office.


Where does the tree prefer to stay?

A cacao tree does not like full sun all day and is completely happy with partial shade. Find a bright and warm place out of direct sunlight. Try to avoid the bright afternoon sun in the summer, but in the morning it is fine outside. Sprinkle the tree with rainwater so it stays nice and moist around the plant.


We recommend after 3 weeks of aclimatzation to transfer the tree into a clay pot!


What temperature does the cacao tree thrive in?


A temperature of at least 18 Celsius and anything above that makes this tropical tree very happy and grows very quickly at around 30 degrees.


How much water does a cacao tree need?


If you give the tree some rainwater daily or every other day, that is sufficient. as long as you make sure that the soil around the root ball remains moist. Is the air in the room dry? Then spray the tree with boiled (and cooled) water or rainwater.


Does the cacao tree need extra nutrition?


Our seedlings are fed already 4 weeks after germination. Use a liquid plant food for houseplants, and give them some bone meal or lava meal every quarter and mix this through the top layer, this promotes growth. In the summer the plant can grow considerably and to help a little extra you can add it once or twice. feed houseplants per week. The tree grows fastest between April and September and can then make good use of the extra nutrition.


When do the flowers and fruits grow?


The beautiful flowers bloom directly on the trunk after about a year and a half. (Depending on which variety it concerns) Do you also want fruit? Then you need two trees. You then have to pollinate the flowers manually, this can be done by picking one flower and then letting the flowers on the other tree come into contact with the picked flower. After 4 years, the fruits grow directly on the trunk.
