watering

Jasmine likes slightly moist soil, so water the plant frequently but not too frequently. Water the jasmine plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Aim to completely saturate the soil to the bottom of the pot. Once a week during summer months is usually enough, though more frequent watering may be necessary in hot weather. During winter, when the plant is dormant, only water occasionally when the soil begins to dry out.

sunlight

Jasmine (Jasminum stephanense) prefers to be grown in a location where it receives full sun during the morning and partial shade during the afternoon. During the growing season (May through October), it should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. During winter, when temperatures are cooler, it is best to position this plant in an area where it will still receive some indirect sun throughout the day, but no more than 4 hours of direct sunlight. With too little light, the plant may become leggy or not produce blooms in late summer.

pruning

Jasminum stephanense, also known as Stephan's jasmine, should be pruned during the late winter season. This pruning helps to remove any dead, diseased, or otherwise damaged foliage as well as promote new, healthy growth and blooms. To do this, cut back any particularly long branches to encourage a more compact shape. Additionally, remove any dead flowers and fruit throughout the summer to help the plant continue blooming abundantly. If desired, the entire plant can be cut back almost to the ground in the late winter, allowing it to regrow fuller and more lush for the following blooming season.
