Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your night blooming jessamine live plant is straightforward, ensuring a vibrant and fragrant display. This shrub thrives with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily but can tolerate partial shade. However, excessive shade may reduce the number of blooms. For optimal growth and fragrance, plant your fragrant jessamine in fertile, well-draining soil. Amending heavy clay soils with organic matter can significantly improve drainage and overall plant health. Consistent moisture is crucial for healthy blooms, especially during establishment and the growing season. These plants require frequent watering; ensure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. During the dormant winter season, significantly reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

The night blooming jasmine plant is quite resilient once established. It is hardy to approximately 25 degrees Fahrenheit, but new growth is typically sensitive to temperatures below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. In colder climates, consider protecting young plants during cold snaps or growing them in containers that can be moved indoors. Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage lush growth and abundant blooms. Pruning can be done after the main flowering period to maintain shape and size, and to encourage new growth. Watch out for common pests like aphids or whiteflies, and treat with organic insecticidal soap if necessary. Proper care will ensure your cestrum nocturnum provides years of enchanting fragrance.
