Humidity- Jasmine enjoys moderate to high humidity levels. It can adapt to drier conditions also.

Light Requirement- Jasmine requires full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering. It needs at least 4 - 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, it can tolerate some shade, particularly during the hottest part of the day.

Fertilization- Feed  the plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to provide essential nutrients. Avoid excessive fertilizer during flowering time. To promote abundant flowering, provide phosphorus rich fertilizer.

Flowering- This plant produces small, white, star-shaped flowers with an enchanting fragrance. The flowers typically bloom in clusters and appear in abundance during the warmer months, often in the evening and night. Each flower lasts for a day or two before fading.

Important Diseases- Jasmine 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 % bordeux 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 Dithane-M 45 or 1% Bordeaux mixture to control the disease.

Important Pests- Common pests that may affect Jasmine 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.

Pruning- Pruning is beneficial for shaping and maintaining the size of Jasmine.  To give a  shape to the plant pruning can be done anytime of the year. Regenerative pruning can be done after the flowering period to remove dead or overgrown branches. Pruning also helps to promote bushier growth and increased flowering.

Propagation- Jasmine 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-draining soil. Layering involves bending a low-growing branch and burying a portion of it in the soil until it develops roots.
