What kind of growing environment does the night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) prefer?

Growing habits of the night-blooming jasmine:

The night-blooming jasmine mostly grows in woodland or shrub thickets. It likes a warm, humid, sunny, well-ventilated environment with loose, fertile soil; it is drought-tolerant and poor-soil-tolerant, but not waterlogging-tolerant or cold-tolerant, and stops growing after leaf fall in winter; after the weather warms in spring it sends out branches and leaves, with an axillary bud or flower bud at each node, and as it grows it continually produces side branches and puts out inflorescences. It generally blooms successively from May to October, and the flowers are fragrant when they open, becoming even more strongly fragrant at night. It sets fruit in winter.

Morphological characteristics of the night-blooming jasmine:

The night-blooming jasmine has slender branchlets that are hairy and contain milky sap. The leaves are opposite; the leaf blades are broadly ovate, cordate to oblong-ovate, 4-9.5 cm long and 3-8 cm wide, with a short acuminate apex, a deeply cordate base and an entire margin, with 7-9 palmate veins arising from the base, and with hairs on the margin and veins. The umbel-like cymes are axillary, with as many as 30 flowers; the corolla has 5 lobes, oblong, yellow-green, with a fresh fragrance that is stronger at night, hence the names "night-blooming jasmine" and "night-fragrant flower"; the corona has 5 lobes, fleshy, shorter than the anthers, borne on the gynostegium, with an acuminate apex; there is 1 pollinium per locule, elliptical, upright. The follicle is lanceolate, 7.5 cm long, with a thick exocarp and no hairs. The seeds are broadly ovate, about 8 mm long, with white silky seed hairs at the apex.

Flower language of the night-blooming jasmine:
