Jasmine (4")

Jasmine

Jasminum polyanthum(most commonly sold as a houseplant)

Care Difficulty
Easy to Moderate. Jasmine is relatively easy to grow with plenty of light and consistent watering.

Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light with 4 to 6 hours of direct morning or late afternoon sun if possible. A south- or west-facing window is ideal. More light encourages better flowering.

Water Requirements
Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water less frequently during winter but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity (40 to 60%). Average household humidity is usually sufficient, but higher humidity helps prevent leaf drop.

Pet Safety
Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Growth Speed
Fast. Vines can grow several feet each year under ideal conditions.

Expected Mature Size

• Height: 4 to 10 feet when supported
• Spread: 2 to 4 feet

Pot Size
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when the roots become crowded. Provide a trellis or support for climbing varieties.

Where it Grows Best
Indoors in a bright location with cool nighttime temperatures. It also grows beautifully outdoors on a patio or deck during the summer. In Zone 3, bring it indoors before temperatures fall below 50°F (10°C).

Common Mistakes

• Providing too little light, resulting in few or no flowers.

• Allowing the soil to dry out completely for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Jasmine smell good?
Yes. Jasmine is famous for its intensely sweet, floral fragrance. The blooms are often most fragrant in the evening.

How do I get my Jasmine to bloom?
Provide bright light, regular fertilizing during spring and summer, and a cooler rest period in late fall and winter with nighttime temperatures around 50 to 60°F (10 to 16°C). This helps trigger flower production.

Can I grow Jasmine outdoors?
Yes. In Zone 3, Jasmine can be enjoyed outdoors during the summer in a sunny, sheltered location but must be brought indoors well before the first frost.

Should I prune my Jasmine?
Yes. Prune after flowering to maintain its shape, encourage branching, and control long vines.

How often should I fertilize it?
Feed every 2 to 4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. Stop fertilizing during winter.

Why are the leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves are most commonly caused by overwatering, poor drainage, or insufficient light. Check soil moisture and move the plant to a brighter location if needed.
