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 humid and well-ventilated environment, is not cold-tolerant, and plants are 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 slows down. In some areas of South China, ground-planted plants can overwinter outdoors, while potted plants north of the Yangtze River require the winter greenhouse temperature to be no lower than 3°C to 5°C, and at least above 0°C, otherwise the leaves and tender shoots are very likely to freeze.

When strong cold air from the north moves south and a sharp temperature drop occurs, the temperature should be appropriately increased to ensure it is not lower than 10°C, otherwise frozen plants will find it very difficult to recover growth in a short time the following year. For a small number of potted plants placed in offices or rooms, 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.
