Jaboticaba (MYRCIARIA CAULIFLORA) leaf drop

Question

My jaboticaba dropped a TON off leaves after I received it from Florida… It took just a couple of days to get here but I placed it in pretty bright sunlight. I did not report it but at one point it did dry out. It appears pretty root bound. Is it going to be ok? It’s about two feet tall and went from living outside to being a house plant…

Answer 1

This tree is not likely to do well in an indoor environment.
