Product Description:
Downy jasmine is a charming, fluffy shrub with bright white blossoms on and off all year. The plant produces charming little star-shaped white blooms that often have pink highlights on the petals. In addition to looking beautiful, the Jasmine flower also has a pleasant sweet smell that is calming to your body.
Sunlight:
Jasmine plants like bright sunlight, so if the plant is indoors, make sure that it is getting sunlight for up to four hours a day. Having the plant in front of a southern facing window will do wonders for its growth.
Soil:
Use an organic blend of porous material as well as bark, peat, and other soil that drains well.
Temperature:
Being a tropical plant, Jasmine plants are able to handle hot and humid temperatures, but they will not survive cold, winter temperatures. When growing Jasmine, try to keep the temperature between 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Water:
Jasmine plants need a lot of water, especially when they are in bloom. It is best to always keep the soil slightly moist.
Fertilizer:
When fertilizing a Jasmine plant, you want to use a fertilizer that is rich in potassium and phosphorus. This type of fertilizer will help extend the bloom time of the plant.
Pinching and Pruning:
When you begin to see new growth on a Jasmine plant, you should begin pinching the stems to promote growth. This process should be completed during the first two years of the plant’s life, and you should only pinch the top half inch of the stem.
