Care Instructions
Confederate jasmine thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires regular watering, allowing the soil to partially dry out between waterings. The plant benefits from higher humidity levels and should be protected from cold drafts.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil mix retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently loosen the roots and place the plant in fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate Confederate jasmine through stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Pruning
Prune the plant in early spring to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back overgrown areas. Regular pruning helps keep the plant manageable and promotes flowering.Toxicity
