What is the plant
How to Care for the Plant
Water
In very hot areas, or during summer, extra water should be given, and in winter, when the trees are mostly dormant, less will be needed.
Fertilizer
If planting in a very sandy area, added compost/fertiliser will benefit growth, and the trees have moderate to high water needs.
Sunlight
Although a sunny position is preferred, Tabernaemontana can grow in semi shady areas, but development may be slightly hampered.
