The care of your Tamarinde
Stand
Place your Tamarinde in a sunny spot in the house. This plant likes direct sunlight, so a spot near a window is ideal.
Watering
The Tamarinde likes moist soil, but be careful not to overwater the plant. Feel the top layer of soil regularly; when it feels dry, it is time to water.
Humidity
As a tropical plant, the Tamarinde appreciates somewhat higher humidity. In winter, you can spray the leaves occasionally to prevent dehydration.
Nutrition
During the growing period, from spring to fall, give a small amount of plant food for tropical plants every two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about caring for your Tamarinde plant? In our FAQ, we answer the most frequently asked questions to help you keep this special plant healthy and happy.
You can decide that for yourself. If you just let the plant continue to grow, it can grow as tall as 2 meters. If you think that is too big, you can cut off the branches at the desired height. That way the tamarind grows more broadly, like a bonsai.
Yes, in the summer months you can place the Tamarinde outside in a sunny spot. However, bring it back inside when the temperature drops below 10°C.
The Tamarinde plant itself is usually not toxic to pets, but it is always wise to keep your pets away from plants to prevent accidental nibbling.
It is possible but rare for a tamarind plant to bear fruit indoors. For fruiting, the plant needs very strong sunlight, such as in a greenhouse or conservatory, and sometimes even artificial lighting to simulate the right conditions.
Yellow leaves may indicate too much or too little water, or a nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture first; if the soil feels too wet, water less. If the plant has not been fed for an extended period of time, adding some plant food may also help.
