Care at a glance

Botanical name: Jasminum polyanthum

Feeding: Feed once a month in spring and summer. Do not feed in winter.

How does the soil feel 2 to 3 cm below the top?

Push a finger 2 to 3 cm into the soil. Feel if it is dry, damp or wet.

Dry: no soil sticks to your finger. Water the plant.
Damp: a little soil sticks to your finger. It feels cool. Do not water yet.
Wet: soil sticks to your finger and feels soggy, or you see water. Do not water. Check the drainage.

Do not water on a fixed day. Test the soil first. Read the soil check guide.

Use a rich potting soil with some perlite. The mix must drain well.

For flowers, give 4 to 6 weeks of cool nights, 5 to 10 C, in autumn. Keep the plant bright.
Give the vines a ring or a trellis. They grow fast and need support.
Cut the vines back after the flowers fade. This keeps the plant compact.
Fine webs under the leaves show spider mites. Wash the leaves and raise humidity.

Not toxic to cats and dogs. Keep it away from pets that chew plants.
