How to Care for a Jasmine Tree

Learning how to care for a jasmine tree is easy. You must consider some climate conditions when you have this spectacular tree growing indoors. You must be able to provide the right daytime and nighttime temperatures as well as soil conditions for the tree to grow and flower. With a little care, the jasmine can grow to be 10 to 15 high with beautiful flowers during the spring and summer months. If growing indoors, the sweet fragrance of the flowers will fill the air.

Instructions

1. Place the jasmine tree somewhere where it will have indirect sunlight during the day. It will do well in partial shade areas as long as it is warm.

2. Keep the soil moist, but not overly wet. The pot must have proper drainage so the roots do not sit in a soaking wet soil. During the winter months, the tree needs less water than it does during the spring and summer.

3. Add fertilizer during the spring so that the tree gets the nutrients it needs to flourish and blossom.

4. Pinch the tips of the jasmine to promote new growth. Prune the tree regularly to contain the growth of the tree.

5. Keep the jasmine in a climate with nighttime temperatures of 55 degrees and daytime temperatures of 72 degrees.

6. Pick jasmine flowers to make tea in the morning before the buds have opened.

Tips & Warnings

• If you buy a jasmine tree or seeds to plant indoors, you should do this in the fall. This gives the plant a better chance of growing to be healthy.
