Placement: Provide Ample Sunlight and Shelter During Winter

Jasmine plants require full, bright sun throughout the day, although some afternoon shade is acceptable. To maximize their exposure to light, place them near a bright south-facing window. In colder regions, where the temperature drops below 40F, it is advisable to transfer the plants to pots and bring them indoors during winter. The ideal temperature range for jasmine plants is 60F to 80F.

Soil and Pruning: Use Well-Draining Soil and Regularly Trim Overgrowth

To ensure optimal growth, use an organic blend of porous material, peat moss, bark, and compost. Jasmine plants are susceptible to root rot, so it is important to use soil that drains well. Provide a spacious pot and a trellis if you have a climbing jasmine variety. Regularly prune overgrowth to keep the plant upright and remove any dead or dying foliage to allow for the growth of new, lush leaves.

Watering: Maintain Proper Moisture Levels and Humidity

Avoid soggy soil by allowing the top one or two inches to go dry before watering your jasmine plant. However, do not let the soil completely dry out. Check the moisture level by inserting your finger into the soil. Depending on the heat, water your plant once a week or more. Ensure that the water completely soaks through the pot and drains out. Jasmine plants appreciate humidity, so misting the plant or using a water tray to increase moisture in the air can be beneficial.

Fertilizer: Promote Blooming with Phosphorous and Potassium

During the growing season, apply a liquid fertilizer rich in phosphorous and potassium every two to four weeks to encourage abundant blooms. In winter, stop fertilizing and reduce watering as the plant goes dormant and requires less sunlight. With consistent, cool temperatures, jasmine plants can still bloom during winter.

Pests and Fungus: Prevent Infestation and Disease

Common pests that affect jasmine plants include whiteflies, mites, and aphids. To discourage infestations, spray a soap and water solution on the leaves and manually remove any visible bugs. Fungus can cause discoloration and wilted leaves; combat it with a mixture of baking soda spray and aeration.

In summary, jasmine plants are versatile and easy to grow. They thrive in well-drained soil and require regular watering and fertilizing. Light shade is preferable, and pests and fungal issues can be prevented through proper care and treatment. At 9GreenBox, we provide live jasmine plants, but please note that sizes and shapes may vary from the pictures shown.
