Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper fragrant jasmine plant care is essential for a thriving and fragrant plant. These plants appreciate bright conditions and consistent moisture. For indoor cultivation, provide as much bright light as possible; south-facing windowsills are ideal. When growing outdoors, they can tolerate full sun to partial sun exposure, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming. During warmer months, these plants will flourish if moved outdoors, enjoying the natural light and air circulation.

Watering is crucial for the health of your jasmine belle of india live plant. Allow the topsoil to dry out slightly between waterings, then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Always ensure the drip tray is emptied to prevent root rot. Reduce the frequency of watering during winter months when the plant’s growth slows down. The ideal temperature range for these plants is typically between 60-80°F (15-27°C), and they are not frost-hardy, so bring them indoors before temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C). For optimal growth, fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring through fall) with a balanced liquid fertilizer, reducing frequency in winter.

The right soil mix is vital for your double star jasmine cultivation. Plant in a free-draining, rich soil. A recommended mix consists of two parts loam, two parts peat moss, and one part river sand to ensure good drainage and nutrient retention. This particular blend provides the necessary aeration and moisture-holding capacity. Pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape, control size, and encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Watch out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs, and treat promptly with an appropriate horticultural spray or insecticidal soap. Providing consistent warmth, light, and humidity will ensure your everblooming jasmine shrub flourishes and produces its beautiful, aromatic flowers throughout the season.
