    I’ve had a jasmine for 20 years now in a pot. Very resilient plants. Also great for making cuttings to give away.

      Indoors, outdoor, or do you rotate by season? I’m way too far north to grow it year round outdoors, but if I could realistically pot it…

        I’m also pretty far north. I just rotate it in the pot. It stays in a sunny window in the winter, and tied to a railing on the deck during the rest of the year. It tends to suffer a bit in winter. A few leaves fall off and whatnot. But it blooms every year and fills its trellis nicely. I need to aggressively prune it once a year.

          Interesting, thanks for the information. I might have to try that. We have a very small number of plants that go in and out every year. My wife is paranoid about bringing bugs in, but our jade gets great colors when it has a good amount of direct sunlight.

            I have an olive tree and that jasmine that I bring in and out. In the fall I let them both stay out over night for a couple hard freezes and they are fine with it. I think that probably kills the bugs. But they’ve never been an issue.

            I’m sure there is… but I wing it. I just take off whatever is making the plant too bushy. Sometimes I’ve taken off whole vines.
