Bicolor jasmine prefers light and semi-shade environment and cannot tolerate direct sunlight. Therefore, in winter, potted plants can be placed in a bright place indoors for cultivation. If it must be placed outdoors, you can wrap the potted plants with film and remove the film after the winter. But it should be noted that it is best to open the film every two days to help the potted plants breathe.

Bicolor jasmine has poor cold resistance and needs to be grown indoors in winter. Generally, potted plants should be moved indoors in mid-November and the room temperature should be kept above 0℃. If you want it to bloom in winter, you should raise the room temperature so that the night temperature reaches above 15℃.

How to fertilize bicolor jasmine in winter

Stop fertilizing bicolor jasmine when the temperature drops in autumn to prevent new shoots from being frozen. However, you can also apply fertilizer once after winter and before spring according to actual conditions.

How to water bicolor jasmine in winter

Bicolor jasmine likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging. When watering, you should follow the principle of "water when dry and water when wet". Watering should be controlled in winter, generally watering once every 10 days, and keeping the soil in the pot dry. If you overwater, too much humidity indoors can cause leaf drop or root rot.
