Planting & Care
Plant your starter jasmine in a location that receives plenty of bright light, ideally with some direct sun. Use a well-draining potting mix or garden soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. In cooler zones, grow in a container and bring indoors before the first frost.
Feed with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during active growth to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and spider mites, especially when grown indoors.
