How long does the windmill jasmine bloom?
This article provides knowledge about how long windmill jasmine blooms and precautions for caring for jasmine in winter. Below is a detailed introduction.
Windmill jasmine has been a popular potted plant in recent years, but it actually has no relation to jasmine flowers. Windmill jasmine is a vine plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. The only connection between them is the flowers, as windmill jasmine flowers resemble white windmills in shape and have a strong fragrance. Jasmine flowers also have a strong scent, but I find windmill jasmine to be even more fragrant, so it can be smelled from a distance, and the scent is quite strong.
I have cultivated several windmill jasmines, both in the ground and in pots, and overall, they are quite easy to care for with a very relaxed management style. They are not picky about soil, but I still recommend using fertile soil rich in humus for cultivation, which is more beneficial for plant growth and flowering.
For potted plants, I use a general-purpose soil (nutrient-rich soil) for cultivation, and you can add some base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. For ground planting, it's even easier—just dig a hole and add some base fertilizer, no need to improve the soil. Ground planted jasmines definitely grow faster than potted ones, and if well cared for, they can grow several times taller in a year, making them suitable for cultivation in gardens, terraces, or by fences, and they can grow into a flower wall in just one year.
Windmill jasmine is a plant that enjoys plenty of light and grows vigorously with sufficient sunlight. It can grow in either half-daylight or full daylight. Long periods without sunlight in indoor environments can lead to poor growth. A temperature range of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius is most suitable for its growth, resulting in more flowers. It is one of the few flowers that are not afraid of strong sunlight in summer. The blooming period of windmill jasmine is also long, lasting continuously for four to five months. Spring is the season when windmill jasmine blooms the most, followed by summer, and in autumn, it mainly grows branches and buds, with a few flowers opening.

Windmill jasmine is quite drought-resistant, requiring little watering for ground plants unless it's extremely dry. For potted plants, it's recommended to water thoroughly when dry, allowing the roots at the bottom to come into contact with moisture. Windmill jasmine has a relatively good cold tolerance, with mature plants being able to survive winter temperatures as low as minus ten degrees Celsius. Below zero, the leaves will turn a beautiful reddish-brown, which is also very beautiful.
If young plants are grown in the ground, they need to be protected from the cold as their branches are not yet mature. For potted seedlings, just move them to an indoor阳台 for care.
Propagation of windmill jasmine is also very simple, with cutting and layering methods being relatively easy to survive.
