Soil Type

Water: Jasmine is drought-tolerant, thriving in regions with fluctuating rainfall. It requires watering every 2-3 weeks and prefers well-draining soil. Typically grown outdoors, jasmine benefits from ample sunlight and air circulation during its active growing season.

Fertilize: To care for jasmine, apply balanced fertilizers with an even N-P-K ratio quarterly during growing seasons. This promotes blooms and strength. Adjust feeding in spring/summer and reduce in fall/winter. After fertilization, water jasmine thoroughly to distribute nutrients evenly.

Pruning: Jasmine boasts fragrant yellow flowers and glossy evergreen leaves. Regular pruning, ideally in late spring post-flower, encourages bushier growth and enhances flowering. Remove weak branches and shape the plant for optimal health. Use clean, sharp tools to reduce stress on jasmine.

Propagation: Jasmine propagation involves taking healthy cuttings from stems, leaves, or roots. Use sterile tools, remove lower leaves, and apply rooting hormone. Place cuttings in a moist, well-draining mix, maintaining high humidity and warmth to promote successful root development.
