Care Instructions
Sweet-scented jasmine thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires regular watering but should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant enjoys a humid environment and should be kept in a well-ventilated area.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for sweet-scented jasmine. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Sweet-scented jasmine can be propagated through cuttings. Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.Pruning
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.Toxicity
Sweet-scented jasmine is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good practice to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
