How to care for your Jasminum Officinale Affine

• Light: This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause leaf burn.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so be sure to have good drainage.
• Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. You can use a general purpose potting mix and add sand for better drainage.
• Fertiliser: Feed  with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding to monthly during the Autumn and Winter.
• Pruning: Prune after it has finished blooming to encourage new growth and to maintain its shape. Remove any dead or damaged stems and leaves.

By following these tips, you can help your Jasminum Officinale Affine thrive and enjoy its beautiful blooms and fragrant scent for many years to come.
