Cultivation notes: Star jasmine has relatively few pests and diseases, so when growing it, you only need to guard against bites from some pests; there is no need to apply too much insecticide. Because star jasmine is a plant that likes warm environments but is not cold-tolerant, during cultivation you can let it receive plenty of sunlight in summer, while once winter arrives, you need to take good insulation measures to prevent the temperature from getting too low. You can build a frame to help keep star jasmine warm.

Star jasmine likes humid environments, so when watering, you need to keep its soil in a moist state. In summer, it is best to water star jasmine every day. In winter, because the temperature drops, star jasmine's ability to absorb water decreases, so you should pay attention to the watering frequency; watering once every half a month is enough. Also, when the rainy season arrives, pay attention to drainage to avoid root rot.
