Timing: Plant seeds in early spring after the last frost when temperatures are consistently warm, or start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining, fertile soil mix. Night Blooming Jasmine thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.

Growing Conditions:

Humidity: Night Blooming Jasmine enjoys high humidity but can adapt to moderate humidity levels. Mist the plant occasionally if grown indoors.
Care Tips:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Reduce watering in winter.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Pruning: Prune after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more blooms.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Pest and Disease Management:
Pests: Monitor for common pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control infestations.
Diseases: Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases like root rot and powdery mildew.
