Growth habits of the African jasmine

The African jasmine originally grew 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 a sudden drop in temperature can easily kill the plant. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile soil with good drainage.

The most suitable temperature for the growth of the African jasmine is 18°C to 32°C. When the summer temperature exceeds 38°C, growth slows down. In some areas of South China, it can overwinter outdoors when planted in the ground, while north of the Yangtze River, potted plants require a winter greenhouse temperature of no less than 3°C to 5°C, and at least above 0°C, otherwise the leaves and young shoots are very easily 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 the frostbitten plant 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 rooms, besides adding a double-layer plastic film bag, the air conditioner or heater can be turned on at night; this must not be taken lightly.
