West Indian jasmine

West Indian Jasmine should be watered regularly throughout the growing season. Generally speaking, it should be watered once or twice a week, depending on climate. During hot and dry weather, it may need to be watered more frequently. During cooler, wetter weather, less frequent watering may be necessary. Make sure to check the soil moisture regularly and adjust your watering accordingly. The soil should be evenly moist, but not soggy. It is important to keep the soil slightly moist at all times but avoid over-watering.

West Indian jasmine (Plumeria alba) does best in bright, indirect light, with at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight each day. It can tolerate full sun when grown in areas with milder climates. However, during the warmest months, some afternoon shade would be beneficial. The leaves and blooms of West Indian jasmine are somewhat sensitive to cold temperatures, so it may be best to keep it in areas with partial shade during the winter months.

Pruning West Indian jasmine should be done in the winter or late spring before the plant begins to bloom. Generally, the goal should be to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the jasmine for a fuller appearance. Prune off 1-third of the stem length and pinch or prune off any leading shoots or side branches that are growing in a direction that you do not want. Additionally, it is important to trim off any suckers that appear at the base of the jasmine. With regular pruning, you should be able to keep your plant looking healthy and vibrant all year round.
