So I asked this forum a few weeks ago what I should do with my jacaranda and it was decided that it would be best that I repot it into a bigger pot and give it more sun. It now gets several hours of sun a day but it will not stop drooping. The leaves haven't fallen off but I was hoping someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? It's new pot is only a few inches wider than it's original pot but it's just as shallow. Do I need to fertilize it or something?? Idk any advice would be appreciated!

It is quite common for trees to react after repotting. It is called repotting stress.
I had to go back to your last thread and read it again. Here is some more comments:
Nobody recomended repotting in last topic.
We identified elongation as the most likelly problem and to give it more light to solve that. It is not solved in a few months. Actually as stated in the thread, more light will create heavier branches in short term. Heavier branches will droop more due to gravity. But more foliage also fuel thickening faster. It takes some time to stabilize itself. Possibly years. The branches will keep the movement created by the weight of the foliage during this period.
You mentioned air conditioning. I cannot see anyone reacted on that. Have you started to use it for chilling your home this season yet? AC cooling dries up the air and leave tropical trees to severe health problems. If you Feel it has worstened the last month, AC may be a contributor.
I do not even understand why I am answering this question on a bonsai forum. You clearly stated that you will not make it a bonsai.?

I came back to this website because the community seemed informational about the species. I will go ahead and remove myself from said community as I was obviously mistaken to believe it was as welcoming as I once thought.?
And you specifically suggested I plant it in a bigger pot by the way.?
No need to reply further.

I am not sure why this reaction?
Yes, this is a welcoming forum and we have answerd all your questions haven't we?
But we are a bonsai forum so we discuss bonsai trees. This species is not a good candidate for bonsai and you explicit told that you do not have any ambitions to make it a bonsai.
You do not go to a cat forum with a question about your dog or a lego forum with questions about model building.
You are still very welcome here. But asking non bonsai related questions may not render very much response. I sent my message because most of it was already written before I understood that this was not a bonsai project.
If you are interested in bonsai, just stick around for a few years, it is a very rewarding hobby and you can do it as well if you want.
Anyway, welcome to the forum!
