Juhi, Jasminum Auriculatum - Plant

Juhi, also known as Jasminum Auriculatum, is a fragrant flowering plant native to South Asia. Its popularity in India stems from its captivating aroma and beautiful, delicate white flowers. At Metronursery, we recognize the cultural significance of this plant, often used in religious ceremonies, perfumery, and landscaping.

Absolutely, you can successfully cultivate Juhi in a Grow Bag. The advantages of using Grow Bags include excellent aeration and drainage, which prevent overwatering and root rot. Grow Bags also promote healthy root development, resulting in vigorous plant growth.

For optimal growth, use a well-draining potting mix. A blend of garden soil, compost, and cocopeat or perlite works well. This mix provides the right balance of nutrients and ensures proper water retention.

Juhi plants thrive in full to partial sunlight. Ensure they receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily for robust growth and abundant blooms.

Water your Juhi plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Frequent, shallow watering is preferable to infrequent heavy watering.

During the growing season (spring to early fall), feed your Juhi plant with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilization during the dormant winter months.

While Juhi prefers outdoor conditions, you can keep it indoors near a sunny window. Ensure it receives adequate sunlight and good air circulation for healthy growth.

Pruning is essential to maintain a bushy and compact shape. Trim the overgrown branches and spent flowers to encourage new growth and prolonged blooming.

Juhi is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for aphids and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Juhi typically starts flowering within 1-2 years of planting. Be patient, as it may take some time to establish itself before producing an abundance of fragrant blooms.

Yes, Juhi can be propagated from semi-woody stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or early summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Juhi prefers a warm climate and can tolerate temperatures between 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C). Protect it from frost, as extreme cold can damage the plant.
