There are over 200 species (horticulture)of jasmine, each with different characteristics. Some are evergreen, (horticulture)while some are deciduous. (horticulture)Some take the form of vines, while others are shrubs. Some are so tender (horticulture)that they must be grown indoors(horticulture), while others are frost hardy. Buy the jasmine cultivar that's right for your needs. You'll find jasmine plants available in (horticulture)pots at the nursery, or you can order seeds online. These jasmines are the most commonly available in nurseries:
Each jasmine cultivar has(horticulture) specific environmental needs, so do a little research to find out what conditions you need to provide for your plant. In(horticulture) order for your jasmine to thrive, it's necessary to provide the right level of sun and the proper temperature. When you're deciding where(horticulture) to plant your jasmine, take the following variables into account:
What level of sun does it need?(horticulture) Most jasmine plants require partial to full sun, although a few cultivars accept full shade.
Is it hardy in your(horticulture) climate? Determine whether the jasmine you have chosen will(horticulture) thrive outdoors or if it would be better off in a pot inside, where you can control the temperature and humidity.(horticulture) If you're planting outside, you'll want to choose the (horticulture)warmest spot you can find.
How much space does your jasmine plant need? Some cultivars are vines that grow up walls and(horticulture) fences, others grow along the ground and provide good ground cover, and still others grow as contained shrubs. Pick a(horticulture) planting spot that suits the type you have.
Most jasmine cultivars do best in(horticulture) rich, well-draining soil. Whether you're planting your jasmine in the ground or in a pot, prepare the soil by (horticulture)working in in 2-inch layer of compost. This will ensure that the jasmine(horticulture) produces healthy flowers(horticulture) throughout the growing season.
If you're planting outside, check the(horticulture) spot you've chosen to make sure it drains well. Dig a hole and fill it with water. If the water quickly soaks into(horticulture) the hole and leaves it empty, the soil there drains well. If the water(horticulture) sits and drains slowly, choose a different planting spot.
During the growing (horticulture)season, fertilizing the jasmine once a month will keep it blooming. (horticulture)Sprinkle a balanced fertilizer that is water soluble around the base of the jasmine, or use a diluted(horticulture) liquid fertilizer.
Alternatively, you can side-dress(horticulture) the jasmine with compost by working an inch of compost into the soil around the base of the jasmine plant. Be(horticulture) careful not to disturb the roots.
Top-dressing works(horticulture) also; when you water, it takes the nutrients from the compost down into the soil.
