watering

Jasminum polyanthum should be watered when the soil feels dry to the touch. Generally, jasmine should be watered about once a week, giving it a thorough soaking. However, the exact amount of water and frequency of watering will depend on your climate and the potting mix used. During warmer seasons or when the potting mix has great drainage, it might need to be watered more often. During cooler seasons or when the potting mix is not so well draining, it might need to be watered less often. It is also important to check the soil's moisture levels before deciding whether or not to water, as overwatering can be detrimental to the health of the plant.

sunlight

Jasminum polyanthum (jasmine) requires full to partial sunlight for optimal growth. In most temperate climates, the plant should receive 5-6 hours of sunlight each day, preferably during the mid- to late morning hours. Extended and/or direct exposure to the sun should be avoided, as it can be damaging to jasmine plants.

pruning

Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum) should be pruned once a year, either in late spring or early summer. The amount of pruning needed depends on the size of the jasmine and how much it has grown, but generally all stems that are more than 3 to 5 years old should be removed. As a general rule, the plant should be pruned so that there is 1 main stem and several side shoots. Cut all stems to a healthy bud to promote new growth. Additionally, prune any dead or diseased stems and thin out overlapping branches for better air circulation.
