Jasmine care

Aspect	Details
Light	Jasmine thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering. In hot climates, afternoon shade can help protect jasmine from intense heat and sunburn. However, too much shade may reduce flowering.
Planting and Soil	Plant jasmine in well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Ensure proper spacing between plants to allow for good air circulation and prevent overcrowding. Jasmine is adaptable to various soil types but performs best in loamy soil with good drainage.
Watering	Water jasmine regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base of the plant, especially during periods of drought or hot weather. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Container-grown jasmine may require more frequent watering.
Temperature and Humidity	Jasmine prefers moderate temperatures, thriving in the range of 65°F to 75°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. It can tolerate some humidity but prefers drier conditions. Proper air circulation and spacing help reduce humidity around the plant, preventing fungal diseases.
Fertilizer	Feed jasmine with a balanced fertilizer or organic compost during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Apply fertilizer according to package instructions, typically every 4 to 6 weeks. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may lead to lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
Pruning	Prune jasmine regularly to maintain its shape and promote flowering. Remove dead, diseased, or overgrown branches to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of pests and diseases.
Pest and Disease Control	Monitor jasmine for common pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites, as well as diseases like powdery mildew and root rot. Use cultural practices such as proper sanitation, watering at the base of the plant, and providing good air circulation to minimize pest and disease problems. Consider using organic or chemical controls if necessary.
