Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Mysore Mulli Jasmine live plant is a rewarding experience, as it readily responds to good conditions with abundant growth and fragrant blooms. Understanding its specific needs will ensure a healthy and vibrant plant. This fragrant jasmine plant thrives in warm and bright environments, mimicking its native tropical habitat.

For optimal growth and flowering, place your Mysore Mulli in a location that receives full sun to semi-shade. More sunlight directly correlates with more prolific blooming, so aim for at least 6 hours of direct sun daily if growing outdoors. If indoors, a south-facing window or a spot with bright, indirect light supplemented with some direct morning sun is ideal. This plant appreciates consistent moisture but dislikes soggy feet. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. In winter, reduce watering significantly, allowing the soil to remain drier to prevent root rot. The ideal soil for a Mysore Mulli Jasmine live plant is a well-draining potting mix. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is preferred. Incorporating organic matter like compost can improve soil structure and nutrient retention.

The Mysore Mulli is not frost-tolerant. If temperatures drop below 45°F (7°C), it is crucial to bring the plant indoors to protect it from cold damage. It thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Fertilize your jasmine during its active growing season (spring through fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilization during winter dormancy. Pruning is essential, especially for a fast-growing jasmine like the Mysore Mulli. Prune in spring to encourage new growth, maintain a compact shape if desired, and promote more blooms. If left unpruned, it can grow into a large vine. Watch out for common pests like spider mites and aphids, especially indoors. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed. Proper air circulation also helps prevent fungal issues. Addressing common issues like yellowing leaves can often be traced back to overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
