Question
Would you please give me some simple steps in caring for my Jasmine house plant? I have no idea where to start now that the blooms are gone. Thank you so much

Answer
Phillis,

You should keep it in the sunniest window available with the drapes and miniblinds open from dawn to dusk. The soil should be watered whenever the top inch of the soil feels dry but an hour after you water the drain tray should be emptied so the plant is not sitting in a drain tray full of water. It is not a swamp plant and it does not like wet roots.

You should give it a dose of Miracid fertilizer every 2 weeks following the directions on the package. The following websites have more care info. If you have more questions feel free to write again.
