Care Instructions
Spanish Jasmine prefers bright, direct sunlight and should be placed in a location where it can receive at least 6 hours of light daily. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant when the top layer of soil dries out, but avoid waterlogging. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage blooming.Soil
Jasminum grandiflorum prefers well-draining loamy soil. Ensure the soil mix is rich in organic matter to provide adequate nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so consider adding sand or perlite to the soil mix.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormancy period.Repotting
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Jasminum grandiflorum can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the 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 new growth. Pruning is best done after the flowering period. Remove any dead or diseased branches and trim back overgrown areas to promote better air circulation.Toxicity
Jasminum grandiflorum is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.Additional
To encourage more blooms, you can pinch back the tips of the plant during the growing season. This will promote bushier growth and more flowers. Additionally, ensure the plant is not exposed to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect its growth and flowering.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
