Initial Instructions: After unpacking, allow the plant a few days to gradually acclimate to full exposure. Select a location in full sun or part shade with light, well-drained soil. In hot regions, give the plant some protection from hot afternoon sun. If you’re keeping your plant in a container, up-pot to a 6-8 inch pot and use a good quality potting mixture.
Cultivation: Night Blooming Jasmine thrives in containers or the landscape. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Fertilize with a fertilizer heavier in phosphorus in early spring. For containerized plants, increase the pot size as the plant grows. Plants respond well to pruning, which can be performed after a bloom period or anytime to remove dead twigs. Protect the plants from frost; bring plants indoors.
