Night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) is a stunning evergreen shrub that
grows in warm, tropical climates. Night-blooming jasmine is especially favored for
the greenish-yellow, tube-shaped blooms and its exquisite scent. Although nightblooming jasmine will bloom during the day, it's after the sun goes down that the
sweet fragrance becomes especially intense. Night-blooming jasmine, also known as
night jasmine or lady of the night, can be planted in a container and grown as a
houseplant if you live where the nighttime temperatures drop below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions
1 Plant night-blooming jasmine in full sunlight. Although the plant will tolerate light
shade, it will produce bigger blooms with plenty of sunlight. Containerized nightblooming jasmine should be planted in a large container with a hole in the bottom,
filled with a high-quality commercial potting mixture.
2 Water night-blooming jasmine regularly and keep the soil moist. Don't water so
much that the soil becomes waterlogged, as night-blooming jasmine won't do well
with soggy roots. Containerized night-blooming jasmine should be watered with
room-temperature water.
3 Feed night-blooming jasmine with a water-soluble fertilizer every month between
spring and autumn. If you prefer, you can apply a one-time feeding of a time-release
fertilizer in early spring. Apply fertilizer according to the directions on the package
label.
4 Pinch the tips of night-blooming jasmine to encourage the plant to grow full and
bushy. Use garden shears to prune container-grown plants as needed to maintain the
desired size and shape.

Tips & Warnings

Night-blooming jasmine can easily be propagated by taking stem cuttings. Cut

a 3- to 4-inch stem from a healthy plant, and strip the leaves from the bottom

half of the stem. Dip the cut end of the stem in rooting hormone, and plant the
stem in a container filled with commercial potting soil. Place the container in a
sunny, warm spot and keep the soil moist. The stem should root in three to
four weeks.
Wear gloves when working with night-blooming jasmine as the sap can often
be irritating to the skin.
