Jasmine care

Jasminum polyanthum

Thirsty’s starting schedule for Jasmine: about every 5 days. Check the soil and adjust it to your home.

Watering

Water regularly while it is growing so the soil stays moist but drains well, and give only very light watering in winter. [1][2]

Light

A warm, bright spot indoors with plenty of bright, filtered light. [1][3][2]

Soil and potting

A well-drained, loam-based, peat-free potting compost. [3][2]

Pets

Non-toxic to cats and dogs. [4]
