Commonly known as night-blooming jasmine, night-blooming jessamine, or lady-of-the-night ( Cestrum nocturnum), it is not a true jasmine, at all, but is a jessamine plant of which are members of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family along with tomatoes and peppers. Jessamine plants are oftentimes referred to as jasmines because of their highly fragrant flowers and because their names are so similar. Like jasmine, jessamine plants can be shrubs or vines. Night-blooming jessamine is a tropical, evergreen shrub. Morton JF (1971). Plants Poisonous to People in Florida and Other Warm Areas. Miami: Hurricane House.

If your plant is in bloom, every other plant will also be in bloom! Water the Night Blooming Jasmine until it drains from the bottom of the container, then wait until the soil appears dry before watering again. Too much moisture in the soil is not suitable for these plants that is why it prefers well-drained or average-drained soil. This plant’s roots decay and mold will grow as a result of too much water.

You may not need any fertilizer because the plant is relatively self-sufficient and doesn’t pay any attention. Fertilization, on the other hand, will assist your Night Blooming Jasmine to stay robust and disease-resistant, as well as enhance the number of flowers.There are no major varieties of Cestrum nocturnum, but some cultivars may have slight variations in flower color or growth habit. Winter Jasmine, Jasminum Nudiflorum, is a species of Jasmine with shrubs that grow up to 4 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Winter jasmine is distinguished by its bright yellow petals, contrasting with most other Jasmine kinds, which are white-flowered. These Jasmines, on the other hand, aren’t particularly fragrant.

There are two main methods for propagating night-blooming jasmine: stem cuttings and seeds. Both methods are effective, but stem cuttings are often preferred for their ease and speed.Patil CD, Patil SV, Salunke BK, Salunkhe RB (2011).

Here are essential steps to prevent root rot and ensure healthy growth: Monitor watering frequency: Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water the plant several times a week during the establishment phase, then reduce watering to once a week during the growing season. If your climate is cooler or if you want to grow the plant indoors, planting in pots is the way to go. Use a pot with at least one drainage hole to prevent water buildup, which can cause root rot. A mixture of sandy soil and peat moss works well as a potting medium for night-blooming jasmine, but make sure to keep the pH at a healthy level (around 6.0-7.5).
