Jasmine Mini / Mogra (White) - Jasminum sambac

About Jasmine Mini / Mogra (White)

Jasmine Mini (Mogra Butti, Motia), botanically Jasminum sambac from the Oleaceae family, is a small evergreen shrub or vine growing 0.5-3 m in height. It is the most familiar and common jasmine variety, producing sweetly fragrant, medium-sized double white flowers in clusters of 3-12 at branch ends. Flowers open in the evening (around 6-8 pm) and close by morning; buds are traditionally harvested white in the early morning for gajra, as green buds don't carry the same fragrance.

Growing Conditions

• Light: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight; flowers best in full sun, also tolerates mild climates and partial shade.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
• Temperature: 25-35°C.

Planting & Placement

Can be grown as a bushy climber (with a strong, permanent support) or as a stand-alone bush - widely used for commercial planting. Transplant to its permanent location in full bright light after about a month.

Care

• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; maintain moisture near the root zone.
• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer monthly for plant health.
• Pruning: Prune after each heavy flowering flush to promote new shoots and more blooms.

Blooms 8-10 months of the year, and nearly year-round in warm, humid climates.
