The orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata) is also known as the mock orange jasmine, orange jessamine, chalcas, or satinwood. This lovely tropical evergreen is an upright and rounded, but compact shrub of the Rutaceae family.

Other than making sure that you plant it in suitable conditions, and keeping your orange jasmine watered and fertilized, the element of plant care that requires the most attention is pruning. Orange jasmine can be trained into a small tree and used as a hedge by pruning often when it is young since it grows rapidly.

In areas below USDA plant hardiness zone 10, you should only grow the plant in a container so you can move it outside during the summer and take it back indoors to overwinter.

Orange jasmine flowers are wonderfully fragrant and smell like orange blossoms. The flowers tend to smell most strongly in the evenings.

The flowers, which occur in terminal clusters, can be present all year round. Each flower measures about ⅞ inch (2.2cm )across and has 5, or sometimes 4, cream-white petals.

Small fleshy red fruits are produced after flowering, with each berry measuring up to about half an inch (13mm) in size

Light
Orange jasmine plants require protection from hot, direct sunlight. Locate the plant where it receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade, or where it will get

Soil
Plant orange jasmine in well-drained soil that is free of nematodes (roundworms). Well-drained soil is critical, as orange jasmine doesn’t do well in waterlogged soil. If your soil lacks drainage, improve soil conditions by adding organic material such as compost, chopped bark, or leaf mulch. The shrub does best in moderately acidic, neutral, or moderately alkaline soil with a pH between 6.6 and 7.5.

Water
Water orange jasmine plants deeply whenever the top two inches of soil feels dry to the touch. As a general rule, one inch of water per week is about right. However, more frequent irrigation may be needed if you live in a hot climate or if the plant is in a container. Never allow it to stand in muddy soil or water.

Temperature and Humidity
As tropical plants, orange jasmine does best in humidity above 50 percent and must have temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, as they are not frost-tolerant. The plant can tolerate lower levels of humidity.

Fertilizer
Feed orange jasmine plants once every three to four weeks throughout the growing season (spring through fall), using a fertilizer designed for evergreen plants. Alternatively, if the plant is in a container, apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for evergreen shrubs. For the amount to use, follow the product label instructions.
