1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Arabian Jasmine
Botanical Name: Jasminum sambac
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Evergreen flowering shrub (potted houseplant)
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0201
Alternative Names:
Mogra
Sambac jasmine
Gundumalli
Motia
Puspa
ياس
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Lamiales
Family: Oleaceae
Genus: Jasminum
Species: sambac
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to South Asia (India and Sri Lanka) and the Indomalayan region; widely cultivated and naturalized across tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, including Southeast Asia, China, Pacific Islands, and ornamental plantings in warm temperate zones.
4. Visual Characteristics
Habit: Evergreen shrub or twining climber
Leaves: Opposite, simple, ovate to elliptic, 2–4 cm long, glossy dark green
Stems: Woody, slender, often arching or twining
Flowers: Clusters of 5–12 pure white, highly fragrant, waxy tubular corollas with five to nine lobes, each bloom ~2 cm diameter
Fruit: Small red to black fleshy berries (rare in cultivation)
5. Size & Dimensions
Height: 0.5–1 m (1.5–3 ft) in containers; can reach up to 3 m when trained outdoors
Spread: 0.5–1 m (1.5–3 ft)
Flower diameter: ~2 cm
Typical pot size: 15–25 cm diameter
6. Light Requirements
Thrives in full sun to partial shade; at least 4–6 hours of direct morning sun or bright indirect light indoors; protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
7. Watering Needs
Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; water when the top 2 cm of soil begins to dry; reduce frequency slightly in winter but avoid allowing the plant to dry out completely.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix (pH 6.0–7.5) amended with organic matter (peat, compost) and perlite or coarse sand for drainage; repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature: 18–30 °C (65–86 °F); minimum 15 °C (59 °F); not frost-tolerant. Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%); benefits from occasional misting in dry indoor environments.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn); for enhanced flowering, use a higher-phosphorus formula (e.g., 10-30-10); reduce feeding in winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Care level: Moderate. Requires regular pruning to maintain shape and encourage branching; deadhead spent flowers to promote reblooming; monitor for pests; repot every few years.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings (8–10 cm) with leaf nodes, dipped in rooting hormone and placed in a moist medium at 21–25 °C (70–77 °F); roots develop in 4–6 weeks. Layering and air-layering are also effective; seed propagation is slow and less common.
13. Common Problems
Pests: Aphids, whiteflies, scale insects, spider mites; treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Diseases: Root rot from overwatering, leaf spot under high humidity and poor air circulation; ensure proper drainage and airflow.
Physiological issues: Yellowing leaves from overwatering or nutrient deficiency; adjust care accordingly.
14. Benefits & Uses
Highly fragrant flowers used in perfumery, essential oils, and traditional garlands; blossoms used in teas and desserts; valued as an ornamental houseplant; aromatherapy for mood enhancement; potential antiseptic properties.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort; safe for homes with children and animals when kept out of reach.
