Caring Tips

• The rapid growth may necessitate regular trimming to maintain the desired height and shape.
• In the spring, give your star jasmine a good pruning (late March to early April).
• Star Jasmine plant will not tolerate moist potting mix, so only water when the top half-inch of the potting mix is dry.
• When the threat of winter has passed, we recommend bringing the downy jasmine plant outside for the summer, gradually moving it from a shady to a full sun location. When the plant is dormant during the fall and winter, completely avoid fertilizing it.
• Once established, this shrub is generally drought-tolerant, but frequent irrigation will keep it looking its best.
• Remove any downy jasmine plant components that are dead, infected, or damaged and throw them away from the plants.
• When your plant comes, keep it cold and place it in a window that gets good light but not direct sunlight.
• Radiators, hot-air vents, and wood-burning stoves all contribute to the dryness of the Kunda plant.
