How to Care for the Plant

Water
Although this culture is moisture-loving, it requires moderate watering. Water temperature during fall-winter months should be from 14 to 16 ˚C (57 to 61˚F), during spring-summer - from 16 to 25 ˚C (57 to 77 ˚F). In the warm period, water the plant once in 2-3 days, and in the cold period - once in 10 days.
Pruning
Prune an indoor Madagascar jasmine occasionally in either late winter or early spring.
Fertilizer
Feed the liana during the growing season, which begins in the first days of spring and ends in mid-autumn when the bush is preparing for a dormant period. Feed the bush only once in 10 days. For this, a universal fertilizer in liquid form for indoor flowering crops is suitable. After the formation of the first buds, use a fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium and low content of nitrogen.
