Growing tips

Jasmine (Jasminum) is a versatile plant that thrives both in the garden and in containers on the balcony or patio. Planting: The ideal time to plant jasmine is in spring or fall when temperatures are mild. Choose a sunny to semi-shady location with well-drained soil. Make sure that the soil is fresh and moderately dry to avoid waterlogging. When planting in a container, use a high-quality planting substrate and ensure that the pot has sufficient drainage holes. Care: Jasmine requires regular watering during the growing season. The substrate should be kept evenly moist, but without waterlogging. Low-lime rainwater is ideal. In the winter months, the water requirement is reduced as the plant enters a dormant phase. Here the soil should be kept only slightly moist. From spring to autumn, jasmine benefits from regular fertilizer applications. A liquid fertilizer can be given every two weeks. Climbing jasmine species have particularly high nutrient requirements due to their strong growth; weekly fertilization is recommended during the growth period. In winter, during the dormant phase, fertilizing should be discontinued. Jasmine prefers a sunny to semi-shady location. A spot with direct sunlight promotes lush flowering and vigorous growth. However, young plants or those that have been moved outdoors from their winter quarters can tolerate some shade at first to avoid sunburn. The soil should be well-drained, rich in humus and slightly acidic to neutral. Waterlogging should be avoided as it damages the roots. Regular checks for pests such as aphids or spider mites are recommended. Biological pesticides can be used if necessary. Overwintering: Jasmine is not always hardy. In colder regions or with non-hardy varieties, it is advisable to cultivate the plant in a container and place it in a frost-free but cool place during the cold months. An unheated greenhouse or a bright cellar room are suitable for this. The plant should only be watered sparingly during the winter.
