Keeping temps below 65 degrees is non-sense, especially for the true varieties. I live in south florida and my plant in the ground produce the most flowers in summer when the temp is well over 80. I question whether the person who wrote this article even has any experience growing jasmine. They may need quite a bit of direct light to do well. Jasmine is a tropical plant.

I've been a jasmine lover for awhile. A co-worker brought some in today for me-roots and all. Its currently in a plastic bag with damp papertowels aroung the roots until I get home. I live in Houston, TX. Houston + summer = BRUTAL HEAT! Even if I left the a/c on at home all day, my apartment wouldn't cool down to 65 degrees. Am I destined to be jasmine-less or is there a way I can still grow it where I am? I really don't want to give up on having it in my home, but I don't know what to do. Outside, its anywhere from 95-102 degrees each day until around 7pm. Please help! I’ve been a jasmine lover for awhile. A co-worker brought some in today for me-roots and all.

Jasmine will flower in a relatively small pot, but the size of the pot will dictate the size of the plant (small pot, small plant). I would start off with a pot in the 12 inch range. Use good quality potting mix and fill the pot to about an inche below the edge of the pot. Hope that info helps! Daria–I would start with a plant from the nursery, not from seed.

I absolutely adore your website and especially the feature on growing Jasmine. I live in a condo so I don't have the open space of a lawn or garden so I would like to grow Jasmine indoors. I live in Alberta so the winters can be rather brutal to plants but the summers are lovely. Could you maybe help me with some specifics? Do you grow Jasmine from seeds? What size and sort of pot should I use and how much soil? If you could help with any of those questions I would really appreciate it. Again I love your site! Hey Fern!

Look for small unopened flower buds. When you see those, blooming will follow shortly. Chris–Jasmine blooms in either Spring or Summer, depending on the species. Look for small unopened flower buds.

I've brought mine in - hoping it will do fine in the house. And now there's all these tiny, what hopefully will be, blooms. I'm hoping it's not spent blooms from last time. And how often in a year will the Jasmine bloom? How do you know when the jasmine will bloom. I’ve brought mine in – hoping it will do fine in the house.

I too don't heat higher than 65 and the bathroom has one of those privacy block windows which lets in lots of light (and cold, ugh)...I bookmarked this as something to try when I get a chance :) What a cool idea!
