Love the scent of jasmine?
You can grow it indoors!
With the right tactics, your home can smell amazing year-round. Here are 6 easy steps to help you succeed.
Ready to bring jasmine inside?
Let’s get started!
Choose the Right Jasmine Variety
There are several types of jasmine, but not all are great for growing indoors. Look for varieties like Arabian Jasmine, Spanish Jasmine, or the more common Indoor Jasmine.
These are suited for thriving inside your cozy space. Do a little research on each type and decide which one matches your home environment the best.
Find a Sunny Spot
Jasmine plants love bright, indirect sunlight. Place your jasmine near a south-facing window where it can soak up the sunlight but won’t get scorched.
If you notice the leaves turning yellow, it might be getting too much light. Move it a little further from the window to keep it happy.
Water Regularly but Don’t Overdo It
Jasmine likes its soil to be consistently moist but not soggy. Water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Make sure to use a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Too much water can lead to root rot, which is a total buzzkill for your jasmine.
Maintain Humidity Levels
Jasmine loves humidity! You can keep the air around it moist by misting the leaves regularly with water or using a humidifier.
A humidity tray (a shallow tray filled with water and pebbles) under the pot can also do wonders for making your jasmine feel at home.
Feed Your Jasmine
Your jasmine will appreciate a little extra nutrition, especially during its growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month to give it the nutrients it needs to produce those lovely, fragrant flowers.
Don’t feed it in the winter, though – that’s rest time for your plant.
Prune for Better Growth
Pruning helps keep your jasmine plant healthy and encourages new growth. Trim back the stems after blooming to shape the plant and remove any dead or weak branches.
This way, you’ll get a bushier plant with more flowers in the future.
