Indoor Jasmine Pruning and Bloom Cycle Management

Annual Regimen for January Blooms

1. Post-bloom (late winter): Cut entire plant back by half.
2. Spring–summer: Pinch new growth to promote fullness. Keep moist, fertilize regularly.
3. August: Stop pinching.
4. October–November (6–8 weeks): Cool nights (40–50°F), total darkness at night, bright sun by day. Water sparingly. This sets flower buds.
5. December onward: Normal temps, sunny window. Buds open in January.

If You Can’t Provide Cool/Dark Period

Plant stays healthy but blooms less. Still prune hard in late winter—flowers only on new growth.

Key Points

• No fertilizer in winter.
• Full sun essential during bud set.
• Pruning maintains size and vigor.
