Growth habits of African jasmine

African jasmine originally grows in mountain dense forests at an altitude of 500-1800 m or in broad-leaved forests in limestone areas. It likes warmth and sunshine, but direct sunlight should be avoided. It likes a high-humidity, well-ventilated environment, is not cold-tolerant, and the plant is very likely to die when the temperature drops sharply. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile soil with good drainage.

The most suitable temperature for the growth of African jasmine is 18°C to 32°C. When the summer temperature exceeds 38°C, growth will slow down. In some areas of South China, ground-planted plants can overwinter outdoors, while potted plants in areas north of the Yangtze River require a winter greenhouse temperature of no less than 3°C to 5°C, and at least above 0°C, otherwise the leaves and tender shoots are very likely to be frozen.

When strong cold air from the north moves southward and a sharp temperature drop occurs, the temperature should be appropriately increased to ensure it is not lower than 10°C, otherwise plants that have suffered freezing damage will find it very difficult to resume growth in a short time the following year. For the small number of potted plants placed in offices or homes, in addition to adding double-layer plastic film bags, the air conditioner or heater can be turned on at night. This must not be taken lightly.
