Pink Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) Care Tips:
1. Light: Pink Jasmine thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sun, but prefers filtered light or partial shade, especially in hot climates.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
3. Temperature: Pink Jasmine prefers moderate temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and does well in typical indoor conditions. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
4. Humidity: Pink Jasmine appreciates high humidity levels. Indoor air can be dry, so misting the plant occasionally or using a humidity tray can help maintain adequate moisture around the plant.
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with good organic content. A mixture formulated for houseplants or outdoor garden soil amended with compost works well.
6. Fertilizing: Feed Pink Jasmine with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter.
7. Pruning: Prune Pink Jasmine after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to promote new growth.
8. Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or other support structure for climbing varieties to cling and twine around.
9. Propagation: Pink Jasmine can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Root the cuttings in water or a well-draining potting mix until roots develop.
10. Pests: Monitor for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Pink Jasmine is prized for its fragrant, star-shaped pink or white flowers and vigorous growth habit. With proper care in terms of light, water, humidity, and occasional feeding, your Pink Jasmine can thrive indoors or outdoors, adding beauty and fragrance to your space.
