Plant Description:

Common Name-

English- Arabian Jasmine, Sambac jasmine

Bangla- Bel Ful or Beli Ful

Hindi- Mogra

Scientific Name- Jasminum sambac

Family- Oleaceae

Origin- Southeast Asia, particularly India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.

Arabian jasmine is a small, evergreen shrub or vine famous for its highly fragrant white flowers. It is a popular ornamental plant and is widely cultivated for its aromatic blooms used in perfumes, teas, and religious ceremonies.

Growing Conditions-

1. Soil Requirement-  Arabian jasmine  prefers well-drained soil that is fertile and loamy. It can adapt to a range of soil types but thrives in a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

2. Watering- Regular watering is required to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot and dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as it can cause root rot. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

3. Temperature- Arabian jasmine thrives in warm to tropical climates. It prefers temperatures between  15°C to 32°C but can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures. Protect it from frost and freezing temperatures.

4. Humidity- This plant enjoys moderate to high humidity levels. If the air is dry, misting the plant or placing a tray of water nearby can help increase humidity.

5. Light Requirement- Arabian jasmine requires full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering. It needs at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

6. Fertilization- Feed the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage and frequency. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can hinder flowering.

7. Flowering- This plant produces small, waxy, white flowers with a sweet and intoxicating fragrance. The flowers are typically star-shaped and appear in clusters. They bloom throughout the year, with peak flowering occurring in the warmer months.

8. Important Diseases- This plant can be susceptible to several diseases-such as leaf blight, rust and wilt.

Rust- Yellowish orange colored pustules can be seen on the lower side of the leaves and also on young twigs and flower buds. This can be controlled by pruning diseased leaves or buy applying mancozeb.

Wilt- This disease can occur in patches and the roots turn black and the whole plant shows wilted symptoms. This disease can be managed by applying 1 % Bordeaux mixture in soil.

Leaf blight- Reddish brown circular spots are observed on the upper surface of the leaves and this disease spreads rapidly in rainy season. In severe condition the vegetative buds and shoots dry up. Spray Diathane-M 45 or 1% Bordeaux mixture to control the disease.

9. Important Pests- Common pests that may affect Bel Flower includes Budworm, gallery worm, Jasmine eriophyid mite, leaf webworm. Eriophyid mite feeds on the leaves and tender shoots and causes hairy outgrowth. Leaf webworm attack can be identified by skeletonized structure of leaves. Budworm makes holes on flower bud and feed on the inner content of flower bud. Apply neem seed kernel extract or Dimethoate 30 EC to control these devastating insects.

10. Pruning- Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the shape and size of the plant. It is best done after the flowering period to remove dead or overgrown branches. Pruning also helps to promote bushier growth and increased flowering.

11. Propagation- The plant can be propagated through stem cuttings or layering. Take 4 to 6-inch long cuttings from healthy stems, remove the lower leaves, and plant them in well-drained soil. Layering involves bending a low-growing branch and burying a portion of it in the soil until it develops roots.
