	The shining jasmine plant prefers moderate to high humidity and can tolerate lower humidity, but it may not grow or flower.
	It prefers consistently moist but well-draining soil and can tolerate short periods of drought, but it may not grow or flower as well if it’s consistently dry.

HOW TO GROW JASMINUM NITIDUM

Jasminum nitidum, known as shining jasmine, is a tropical evergreen shrub that produces fragrant white flowers. Here are some general guidelines on how to grow jasmine plants:

• Climate: Jasminum plants thrive in warm, tropical climates with temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C and 29°C).
• Soil: The plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A soil pH between 6.0 and 7.5 is ideal.
• Watering: The plant requires regular watering during the growing season, but make sure the soil is not waterlogged.
• Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season.
• Light: Jasminum nitidum prefers full sun to partial shade. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Pruning: Prune the plant in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
• Propagation: You can propagate jasmine plants from stem cuttings taken in the spring or summer.

ADDITIONAL CARE

In addition to the general guidelines mentioned above, there are a few more care tips to keep in mind if you want to grow healthy and vibrant Jasminum nitidum plants.

One important thing to note is that shining jasmine requires moderate water. While it is essential to keep the soil moist, it is equally essential to ensure that the plant is not overwatered. Over-watering can lead to root rot, damaging or killing the plant. Therefore, ensure the soil is well-draining, and water the plant only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.

Another tip for growing Jasminum nitidum is to provide it with proper support. This climbing shrub can grow up to 15 feet tall, so it needs a trellis or support structure to climb on. If you don’t provide support, the plant may become tangled and sprawl out, making it more challenging to maintain.

Lastly, it is essential to watch out for pests and diseases. Jasminum plants can be susceptible to spider mites, scale insects, and fungal diseases. However, regularly inspect your plants for any signs of infestation or disease, and take action immediately if you notice any issues. Applying an organic insecticide or fungicide can help prevent and control pest and disease problems.
