How often should African jasmine be watered?

African jasmine prefers moisture, and during maintenance, you should follow the principle of "alternating dry and wet" watering, that is, wait until the soil is dry before watering.

How often you water African jasmine depends on the season. For example, in spring and autumn, the plant grows vigorously and needs more watering. In winter, when the temperature is low, you should reduce the frequency of watering.

African jasmine is a plant that is relatively resistant to high temperatures, but it needs to be watered frequently, once every 1-2 days in summer.

4. Watering in winter

African jasmine is in a slow growth stage in winter and its demand for water is also reduced. Generally, watering it once a week is enough. Make sure the water temperature is kept above 3°C.
