Jasminum sambac requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Soil
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.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 to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting

Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or diseased branches, and trim back overgrown stems after flowering to promote new growth.Toxicity
