Cape Jasmine maintenance typically involves the following:
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizing: Feed Cape Jasmine with a balanced fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants, such as an azalea or camellia fertilizer, in spring and summer. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for proper application.
- Pruning: Prune Cape Jasmine after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Additionally, pruning helps promote airflow and sunlight penetration, which can prevent diseases and encourage healthy growth.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as bark chips or compost, around the base of the plant to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a stable soil temperature.
- Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the plant regularly for signs of pests like aphids, scales, or whiteflies, as well as diseases such as powdery mildew or leaf spot. Treat any infestations promptly with appropriate insecticides or fungicides, following label instructions carefully.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, protect Cape Jasmine from frost by covering it with a frost cloth or moving potted specimens indoors during the winter months. Ensure the plant receives adequate light and humidity indoors to prevent stress.
By providing proper care and maintenance, Cape Jasmine can thrive and reward you with its beautiful flowers and delightful fragrance.
