We investigate the growth of Fourier coefficients of Siegel paramodular forms built by exponentially lifting weak Jacobi forms, focusing on terms with large negative discriminant. To this end we implement a method based on deforming contours that expresses the coefficients of all such terms as residues. We find that there are two types of weak Jacobi forms, leading to two different growth behaviors: the more common type leads to fast, exponential growth, whereas a second type leads to slower growth, akin to the growth seen in ratios of theta functions. We give a simple criterion to distinguish between the two types, and give a simple closed form expression for the coefficients in the slow growing case. In a companion article [1], we provide physical applications of these results to symmetric product orbifolds and holography.
