Chameli (Jasmine / Jasminum sambac) is easy to grow if you give it sun, warmth, and proper watering. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide 🌼

🌞 Sunlight

• Needs full sun to partial sun
• Minimum 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily
• More sun = more flowers

🌱 Soil

• Well-drained, fertile soil
• Best mix:
  • Garden soil – 40%
  • Compost or cow dung manure – 30%
  • Sand – 20%
  • Cocopeat/perlite – 10%
• Soil should not stay soggy

🪴 Pot or Ground

• Pot size: minimum 10–12 inch pot with drainage holes
• Grows very well in ground or in pots
• Slight root binding helps flowering

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry
• Summer: 2–3 times per week
• Winter: once a week
• Avoid overwatering (causes root rot)

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 20–35°C
• Loves warm Indian climate
• Protect from frost and very cold winds

🌼 Fertilizer (Very Important for Flowers)

• Every 15 days:
  • Vermicompost or well-rotted cow dung
• Once a month (optional for more flowers):
  • Liquid feed: mustard cake water OR seaweed fertilizer
• Avoid too much nitrogen (causes leaves, fewer flowers)

✂️ Pruning (Must for Flowering)

• Prune after flowering or in early spring
• Cut long, woody branches
• Encourages new growth and more buds

🌸 Flowering Tips

• Regular pruning
• Good sunlight
• Slightly less watering before flowering
• Use phosphorus-rich fertilizer occasionally

🐛 Pests & Care

• Common pests: aphids, whiteflies, spider mites
• Spray neem oil every 10–15 days
