How to grow Tabernaemontana divaricata (crepe jasmine) in pots? Detailed guide to cultivation methods

  Crepe jasmine has dense branches and leaves, a compact plant shape, pure white and lovely flowers, elegant and simple, and a long flowering period. It is an important backdrop and color-coordinating flower, suitable for flower hedges, flower paths or large pots. The green leaves of this flower are verdant and dripping with freshness, and the flowers are crystal white with a refined fragrance, making it an excellent potted flowering plant.

  [Soil]

  Crepe jasmine likes warmth and humidity, is not cold-tolerant, prefers semi-shade, and likes fertile, well-drained acidic soil.

  [Light]

  Crepe jasmine is a sun-loving tree, and good light must be maintained during cultivation, otherwise the leaves will turn dark yellow or even fall off.

  [Temperature]

  Room temperature should be kept above 10°C, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, and below 0°C the branches will be damaged by cold.

  [Watering]

  Normally keep the soil moist, and water before it dries out completely. In summer, spray water around it frequently to increase the air humidity of the environment.

  [Fertilizing]

  Crepe jasmine is fond of fertilizer and has a long flowering period. From May to September, apply compound fertilizer and manure water alternately every 7-10 days. After moving indoors at the end of October, generally water once every 5-7 days, just keep the soil slightly moist, and maintain good light.

  [Repotting] Since crepe jasmine is moved out in April, repot once every 1-2 years according to its growth habit. So when repotting, add compound fertilizer or soybean cake as base fertilizer, and prune dead and weak branches, then place it in a semi-shady spot.
