[Growth habits]
Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) likes sunlight and can also tolerate a little shade. It fears waterlogging, and in North China it can overwinter in the open ground, but it requires a warm and humid climate, and loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil is the best choice. In acidic soil, its growth will be more vigorous, while in alkaline soil, its growth will be poor. Its roots have very strong sprouting ability, and the parts of the branches that touch the ground also root very easily.

[Color]
There are many plants of the same genus as winter jasmine.
Jasminum beesianum: also called red-flowered jasmine, it is a climbing shrub plant. Its corolla is red or rose-red, and it is fragrant.
Jasminum officinale: it is a white-flowered plant.
Jasminum floridum: its flowers are yellow and form terminal many-flowered cymes.
Jasminum mesnyi: its flowers are solitary and pale yellow, and also have dark spots.
Jasminum polyanthum: terminal cymes with several flowers, and all are white and fragrant.

[Bonsai making]
1. For winter jasmine, it is generally most suitable to use a medium-deep purple clay pottery pot, etc., and the shape is not restricted. For the cliff style, a deep thousand-tube pot can be used, and sometimes in order to highlight the beauty of its roots, we can also use a shallow pot.
2. Winter jasmine likes sunlight, and it is also drought-tolerant and cold-tolerant. It is not strict about soil requirements. Generally, well-drained neutral sandy loam is the best. It can also adapt well to slightly acidic soil or lightly saline-alkaline soil. It is not tolerant of waterlogging. For potted winter jasmine, leaf mold and loam can also be mixed and used together. Of course, we can also use thoroughly weathered garden soil; nutrient-rich and loose-textured soil is very suitable for the growth and development of winter jasmine.

3. Because the roots of winter jasmine are very distinctive, when pruning it, we must first consider how to highlight the posture of its roots. Of course, during its dormant period, we can also remove the soil from its roots, tidy them and appropriately bend and tie them, so that they appear coiled, just like the ancient tree roots of a bonsai with intertwined roots, and then pot and plant it. Its main branches and trunk are suitable for bending and not for being straight. Generally, it is enough to roughly bind them with palm fiber.
4. Because the branches of winter jasmine naturally droop and its roots are distinctive, it is very suitable to process it into the weeping style and the exposed-root style, and the two are often combined, with coiled roots exposed, while the main trunk is made into the lying-trunk style or curved-trunk style, and the small branches droop, giving it a unique charm. Winter jasmine is generally repotted once every two years, and the time should be in spring or after leaf fall in autumn. When repotting, root pruning can be combined by cutting off dead roots and overly long roots to facilitate the development of fibrous roots. Bean cake crumbs can also be placed at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. For winter jasmine that needs exposed roots, the roots can be appropriately lifted when planting, and soil can be mounded around the roots. Later, as watering leaches the soil, the roots will naturally become exposed.
