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 and is not cold-tolerant; when the temperature drops sharply, the plant is very likely to die. 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 slows down. In some areas of South China, field-planted plants can overwinter outdoors, while potted plants north of the Yangtze River require a winter greenhouse temperature of no less than 3°C to 5°C, and at least should be above 0°C, otherwise the leaves and tender shoots are very likely to be frostbitten.

When strong cold air from the north moves south and a large temperature drop occurs, the temperature should be increased appropriately to ensure it is not lower than 10°C, otherwise plants that have suffered frost damage will find it very difficult to resume growth within 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.
