The Juhi plant (Jasminum auriculatum) is a prized evergreen shrub or climber celebrated for its small, star-shaped white flowers that release an intense, sweet fragrance, particularly in the evening.

Benefits of Juhi Flower Plant

• Aromatherapy & Stress Relief: The heady fragrance is known to lower cortisol levels, reducing stress and anxiety while promoting a serene ambiance.

• Cultural Significance: The flowers are widely used in India for religious rituals (puja), wedding garlands, and traditional ornaments.

Care Instructions

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sunlight (4–6 hours daily). While it can tolerate partial shade, insufficient light will reduce the frequency of flowering.
• Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil but avoid waterlogging. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period.
• Soil: Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A mix of garden soil, coco peat, and vermicompost is ideal.
• Temperature: Prefers warm climates between 18°C and 35°C. It is relatively hardy but should be protected from severe frost.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to monsoon). For more vigorous blooming, use phosphorus-rich fertilizers.
• Pruning: Prune the plant after the main flowering season (typically late winter/early spring) to maintain shape, remove dead stems, and encourage new growth for more blossoms.
