Instructions

  • Choose a light, loose sandy soil in which to grow your plant. If you’re growing from seed, you can start off with a small, shallow pot, and transplant once the plant has reached 4-6 inches in height. If you grow night blooming jasmine from a small plant (like from a nursery), plant it in a bigger pot or straight into your garden.
  • The night jasmine loves the sun, so place your plant or pot in a sunny spot! If you’re growing indoors, a windowsill is preferred.
  • Water your jasmine plant regularly, but also make sure not to over-water it either! Simply touch the soil around the plant and, if it feels dry, go ahead and give it some water!
  • Because the night jasmine is pretty self sufficient and doesn’t require much care, you shouldn’t need a fertilizer at all. If you do choose to fertilize, do so just once in the spring using a regular flower fertilizer.
  • From seed to plant, your night blooming jasmine should sprout up pretty quickly, in about 2 weeks time! The night blooming jasmine is a small, delicate plant and therefore doesn’t need much time!

HOW TO PROPAGATE NIGHT JASMINE FROM CLIPPINGS

  • Thankfully, night jasmine will easily take roots in water. You can also plant the clippings in a pot of compost and place in a sunny area. Be sure to water on a regular basis and you will see new growth in just a few weeks. Those who live in cooler climates, should cover the pot with polyethylene to hold moisture in until you start to see new growth. This will signify that propagation was successful!

HOW TO PROPAGATE NIGHT JASMINE FROM SEEDS

  • If your night jasmine flowers have been pollinated and they grow berries, leave them on the plant until they shrivel up and fall off naturally. Then, harvest the berries and push them into a pot with soil and compost and water them immediately and regularly. Make sure to keep the pot in a warm and sunny place, and you should see growth within a week or two.
