Care Instructions
Pink Jasmine prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in humid environments and should be watered when the top layer of soil dries out. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.Soil
Jasminum polyanthum prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of potting soil with some sand or perlite works well. Ensure the soil is kept moderately moist but not waterlogged.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring.Propagation
Jasminum polyanthum can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light location.Pruning
Prune after flowering to maintain the plant's shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or weak stems and trim back overgrown areas. Regular pruning helps to keep the plant healthy and vigorous.Toxicity
Jasminum polyanthum is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.Additional
