Aim to water these plants no more than every 2-3 days during the growing season, with a bit less often in the winter. When you do water, make sure to saturate the soil thoroughly to ensure that the roots are getting their fill of moisture, and try to avoid getting the leaves wet as this can lead to unwanted fungal and pest problems. It's also important to keep in mind that plants may need to be watered more frequently during the summer if they are exposed to direct sun or wind.

Orange jessamine is an evergreen tropical and subtropical flowering plant that enjoys full sun in order to thrive. It needs a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. It is best to place the plant where it can receive sun in the morning, either east or southeast facing. If your climate is warm enough to support citrus trees, the Orange jessamine will tolerate full-day sun. Many gardeners even use plants in partial shade, but this may limit the number of blooms and their fragrance. In cooler climates, a bright, slightly dappled area is best for the Orange jessamine.

It is best to prune Orange Jessamine (Murraya Paniculata) back in spring or early summer when the plant is about 2ft or 60 cm in height. Pruning should be done lightly, aiming to remove only about 1 quarter of the total height. This will encourage branches to grow from the lower nodes, resulting in a fuller and denser plant. Dead branches or sticks should be removed as well. Pruning also helps to promote flowering and aid in fruit set. Regular pruning is recommended; however, avoid too much pruning which can give the plant an overly manicured appearance.
