How to Grow Orange Jasmine Successfully?

Sunlight & Spot

  • Tip: Pick a spot that gets about 4–6 hours of morning sun.
  • Avoid: Keep it out of hot afternoon sun to avoid leaf burn.

Soil Requirements

  • Use Well-Draining Soil: Mix garden soil with compost and a bit of sand—you’ll see how easily the water drains away.
  • pH: A pH (6 to 7.5 value) is good enough—this little trick really helps your Kamini plant thrive.

Watering Tips

  • Water Madhu Kamini when the top inch of soil feels dry—but never soggy.
  • Avoid Over water: In Monsoon or Winter season, treat it less water so the roots stay healthy.

Fertilizing for More Blooms

  • Feed your Orange Jasmine once a month with compost or simple plant food (10-10-10).
  • If your Jasmine in a pot, mix in a little liquid seaweed feed every two weeks—you’ll see it perk up.

Pruning & Shaping

  • Once the flowers fade, trim lightly to keep your Kamini plant neat and bushy.
  • Cut away any dead or weak branches so air can move freely.
