Spring Star Care

When you plant Ipheion in containers, keep pots moderately moist until you see the first sprouts and thereafter water when the top inch of soil is dry.

If the vine is terribly overgrown, you can reduce each vine by one half. Again, each cut should be made on the diagonal, just ahead of a bud. After pruning a star jasmine, pick up the cut pieces and dispose of them. You’ll need to attach the remaining vines to the support with ties.

Fertilizing shooting star plants is important to keep them healthy and to promote the production of the beautiful flowers, the main reason for having them in your garden. First, choose the appropriate fertilizer. A balanced formulation of 10-10-10 is fine to use, but avoid overuse because the extra nitrogen will promote leaf growth over flowers.

Once the bulbs start to sprout, gently water to keep the soil lightly moist.
