How to Propagate Night Blooming Jasmine (with actual results)

[@734smyth]

I am in Central Florida and discovered Night Blooming Jasmine about 4 years ago. The smell is intoxicating! Fortunately my neighbor had the bush and filled me in. We bought 2 of them from a local nursery. Took 2 years before we got flowers and smell but its well worth it now. We now have 4 bushes around the house and after watching your video I plan to propagate more. Thanks :-)

[@datlaichelle2736]

Hello there, did you do anything to have it bloom? My Jasmine is so busy growing .It’s about 5 inches tall and still growing, leaves long and broad and lots of off shoots. It did all this in a a room whose light cast a shaded afternoon light. It’s summer where I am , so it’s now outside where it gets approximately 2 to possibly 3 1/2 hours of sun but mostly bright shade, that it was getting in the room.

[@sweetviolet16]

In the Philippines, Night Blooming Jasmine is called "Dama de Noche" translated as Lady of the Night. I was just a little girl when I first smelled its fragrant scent in the old house in the Province of Pampanga. I ordered recently for my own NBJ online and can't wait for its arrival. Thank you so much for sharing and if you could please share also care tips and fertilizing requirements of NBJ. Keep safe and healthy!

[@stayyabali]

I recently bought the raat ki raani and my kid just break the one branch unintentionally and I have no idea but just put that branch in small pot and it grew without any effort.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Great! Sometimes the weather and the surroundings are just perfect.

[@jeritongco3390]

Thank for the info, i can now propagate my Dama de Noche plant.

@@EasyPeasyGardening I am having trouble with my night blooming jasmine plant, I notice many of the leaves turning yellow and the ones that are still green are all stuck together. I’m not sure if it is getting too much sun or not enough water or both. I trimmed off a lot of the damaged leaves but wondering if it is possibly a pest?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

[@chadgaliano2779]

Thanks for this. I have a large night jasmine growing entangled with another small tree right next to my AC unit outside. I want to cut them down to avoid problems to the AC but wanted to keep jasmine growning in another location in the yard for the scent at night. I will try this before I cut it down then transplant.

I am growing from a cutting in West London 🇬🇧 It has been 1 day so far.

[@vikas5357]

I am in Australia and its autumn season here. Winters will be starting from next month. Is it a good time to take cuttings and propagate? If not, what is the best time to do so?

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Thank you for this. I bought three types of jasmine plants in January and had them in my greenhouse. Snowmageddon hit Texas and they all froze. Only one came back and I didn’t know which one it was. By looking at your new growth, I can tell these are the same leaves. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ mine has grown quite a bit now but the leaves are yellowing a bit on the bottom. Suggestions?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Could be root bound

[@ld1994]

This is NOT true Jasmine, it is a Jessamine, Latin name 'Cestrum nocturnum'. It is NOT a vine, it is a shrub from the West Indies Carribean originally. Prefers temperatures that never go under 70 degrees Fahrenheit and well drained soil with time to dry slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. If you live in hot, desert conditions, make sure you provide some shade as it is a jungle plant and prefers the higher humidity of its Native West Indies.

[@ElieZ]

Hello! Thank you! I live in a cold climate and keep it indoors by a southern window. Will it do well forever in a pot?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It grows into a big shrub so don't know how it will grow inside but may be if you keep pruning it, it will be fine

[@joannetanner7282]

Where are you located? Is the Night Blooming Jasmine a tropical plant? I live in Buffalo, Ny Zone 5.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes, it's a tropical plant

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I am in usda zone 9

[@ShariSchreiberMA]

Great video! My tree is quite large. I cut it back each year, and it regenerates. Only one blooming cycle so far this year, and many leaves are turning transparent... its home is not in a very sunny place and it's too large to transplant, but I'd love to see a couple more blooming cycles before winter. Any thoughts? I'm definitely gonna try to propagate some new ones for my deck. Love the fragrance!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I have seen one blooming season only

[@ShariSchreiberMA]

@@EasyPeasyGardening Well yes, but one would expect a few more cycles within the season. :~(

[@tinkerbell24ful]

Thank you for sharing. I have mine in the pot. Could you advise when and how I should prune my night blooming Jasmine. Thanks!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You can prune in fall because it blooms in sumners

[@DinaTinyworld]

I couldn’t find any vdo on How to revive the dying night blooming or raat ki rain or Hasnahena… I really need help…should I repot…it’s cold in here NJ…

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It is a tropical plant so it will be hard to keep it alive there unless it's inside in a sunny area like a sunroom

[@caraodonovan7344]

Hi there, just wondering, did your plant flower that year? I bought a 12" plant that was delivered in May, put it into a 14" container and I've had it outside since (summer here) and it has grown, I'd say maybe 3". Wondering whether there's even a sliver of a chance that I'll get flowers this year? Do you know what height the plant needs to get to flower? Thanks alot

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes it flowered the same year. You can check out the update video in the description. I would say you still have a high chance of it blooming. It blooms a little later in the summer.

[@mercedeh3915]

Hi,and thanks a lot for information. I have bought one about one mount ago,but it doesn't have blooming. What can I do? I put it in the balcony and it has just one hour straight sunlight and most time it's shady.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

How big is it?

[@lizzysheshed9672]

Great info Thank you! Happy April fools day 2020

[@hongkong1972]

About how long did it take for it to grow those roots, to that size in the tennis ball container? Did you have to add any nutrients to the soil? Did you have to keep it in the dark or was it out in the sun every day?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I think it took about 2 months. No extra nutrients in the soil. It was in shared area for a few weeks and then in the morning sun.

[@iamchucho]

You gave absolutely no guidelines on propagating. What season did you do this in? How long did it take to root? How much did you water or ? You told us not to use woody branches... That's only moderately helpful. Please try again with helpful info on the actual propagating part vs transplanting part.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@411Drums]

Thank you for your informative video! I like the sounds of the birds singing : ) I am new to gardening... I was wondering how much and how often do you have to water it, if it is in a pot? Also wondering if you think this plant could survive on a terra cotta plantar (similar to chia pets) Thanks

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Terra Cotta planters are the best but you will need a big one. This plant grows big. Water, when the soil feels dry. For me, that means everyday in the sumners

[@datlaichelle2736]

Along with what easypeasy said, their leaves drop down or go limp, when they need to be watered .

[@megj7376]

I have had my for over 2 years, no flowers ...what am I doing wrong? Plant is growing very well

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Does it get direct sun? How tall is it?

[@saniaz680]

When it’s small like when you re planted it in the bigger pot even then it should be indoors?i have a small night jasmine plant so should I keep it in balcony in direct sun or indoors u til it gets bigger? Please let me know

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It all depends. Just after a transplantation, I want to protect the plant and keep it in a controlled environment. Once it's settled, it can be moved out in sun. So even though your plant is small, if it's well settled, then you can put it in sun but watch it closely. If it starts to burn or wilt, put it in filtered light area. Best is to slowly change its climate.

Hi, I am growing night jasmine snc last yr. It's healthy and growing well, indoor with good sunlight. However, so far the leaves looks healthy n r big but no flowers yet, any advice why?

Pollination is required for fruits not flowers. Depending on where you live it may be a little early for it to bloom

You will probably need to keep it inside where it gets a lot of sun. Winters is a hibernation time for most plants. So, don't worry, just treat it like a normal house plant except that give it some sunlight

Most probably not. If you prune it in fall and keep it covered in winters, it may survive.
