Poet's Jasmine 6" - Jasminum officinale -In bud & bloom

Origin: Asia Minor, Himalayas and China

Jasminum officinale - Poet's Jasmine

Jasmine species are grown indoors for their lovely, fragrant flowers. With proper cultural conditions, Jasmine can remain in continuous bloom for months. They are hardy in zones 8-10.

CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS

Light: Bright light with some direct sunlight each day in eastern or western exposure.

Watering: Keep soil moist as Jasmine can easily wilt. When growth slows in winter, hold back on watering a bit more.

Temperature: Jasminum officinale var. grandiflorum blooms best with a cool night temperature. 

Humidity: Jasmine enjoys extra humidity and benefits from daily misting, sitting on a tray of moistened pebbles and/or use of a humidifier.

Feeding: During the growing season, feed once a month with a standard water soluble fertilizer.

Transplanting:  Jasmines prefer a fertile, well-drained soil consisting of one part sterilized houseplant potting soil, one part peat, and one part builder's sand or perlite.

Propagation: Take tip cuttings just below a node or heel cuttings (from sideshoots with a small section of main stem attached) in midsummer to fall. Grow cuttings in a pre-moistened light soil mix with extra humidity. Repot when rooting has taken place and treat them as mature specimens.

Maintenance: Continue to prune often, as they can be rampant growers.

The plant you will receive is growing in a 6" pot and is very full. It is in bud and bloom and stands about 10" tall, growing on a round trellis.
