Care Instructions
Asian Jasmine prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in humid environments and should be watered when the soil partially dries out. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it versatile for various settings.Soil
Trachelospermum asiaticum prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, 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. Repotting is best done in the spring.Propagation
Asian Jasmine 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 provide indirect light until roots develop.Pruning
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and size of the plant. Prune in the spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back overgrown areas to encourage bushier growth.Toxicity
Trachelospermum asiaticum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The sap can cause skin irritation, so it's advisable to wear gloves when handling the plant. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
