Indoors they need bright indirect light, average room temperature, and high humidity provided through the soil. It can attract mealybugs, aphids and scale insects.

How to fertilize Brazilian Jasmine
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Brazilian Jasmine after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Yellowing leaves #BrazilianJasmine Hi guys! I got this Brazilian jasmine (badly neglected rescue plant from a store) a few weeks ago. She’s been doing perfectly fine until this morning when I noticed all of her leaves had turned yellow overnight. She was normal before I went to bed but this morning when I checked on her, the leaves were yellow. I’ve had a few Brazilian jasmines in the past, but none of them had done this before. Does anyone have any advice on what causes this issue and how to fix it? Thank you!!

I brought one of my #BrazilianJasmine plants to work last fall. Big. Mistake. It is SO DRY in there. Even with a humidifier, every Monday I’d come in to more dead leaves 😭 finally when the poor thing was half-dead, I gave up on trying to place humidifiers around it and accepted that my job is where plants go to die. I brought her home about a month ago and she’s FINALLY coming back! Lots of TLC and patience but look at all these gorgeous, shiny new leaves & vines! 🥰💖🌱🌸 #FreshLeafFriday #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #GregGang

Hi. Brought this plant indoors in the fall. Recently not doing well. What is up with some of the leaves drying out? Just moved out from grow light to direct sun. Water when the gage say too but recently a bit more frequently. #BrazilianJasmine

This plant was given to me and said it was really an outdoor plant that needed sunlight. But it’s pitiful right now. How do I save it?

One of my #BrazilianJasmine plants didn’t like coming inside for the winter, and promptly lost 2/3 of her leaves. I also figured out that it was way too dry in here, so I got several of these adorable little humidifiers to put near all my plants that seemed to need moisture in the air, and now, Jazzy is bouncing back 😇🌱💚 #excited #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #babevila

I’m adding my outdoor friends. In spite of what it says, this is Little Bunny Mandevillas. She has bloomed and survived in spite of the heat.

HELP me save my Mandevilla Sanderi, PLEASE!!! I am so desperate! I am so desperate to make my relationship with this plant work.this is the second one I've purchased online. Both plants arrived in bloom; however, as soon as they came out of the box, all of the blooms started falling off. Both of them went through changes while trying to adjust here in my home. I have met every criterion necessary for this plant to thrive. I waited at least a month before repotting, which was a couple of months ago. I used a tropical soil mix with perilite, worm castings, and some organic bark. I only water when the soil moisture meter says it is dry. The soil's temperature, moisture, and pH are exactly as they should be. The lighting requirements and room temperature are spot on (in the picture where I am pointing, I am showing you the spot by the East facing window where it normally sits). I even have it sitting in a pebble tray with water for humidity (it is not in contact with the water in the pebble tray. It is in a growing pot, which is inside of a pot without holes for this specific purpose). PROBLEM: LAST NIGHT, OVERNIGHT, all of the leaves turned yellow and dropped. These are all that are left. There was absolutely no warning sign. How can I save it? Should I cut it all up into pieces and propagate it? I don't even know where to cut them at to do it right, lol! I am just so desperate for one of these to work. I've spent all day reading online, and there is nothing that tells me exactly what it is and how to solve it. Every article just says it could be 10 different reasons, and they all say the same thing. I just need a REAL solution, so I came here!!!! Thank you to anyone who can help me!!!

White spots on my new plants leaves. #BrazilianJasmine I just got this in today and I'm wondering if this is a good placement for my plant. It is an East facing window. My last one died, so I want to salvage this one. Any tips on where I should place my plant and any care tips would be much appreciated. Also,can anybody tell me what these white spots are on the leaves?

Help needed please #BrazilianJasmine what’s wronggggg?
-
It is all just stems now. #BrazilianJasmine I bought this and it died all the way back to just stems right away. Is this in a dormant stage? Or is it completely gone? Also, I swear the plant smells so good, but every time I look it up, The internet says Brazilian Jasmine does not have a scent. Is this true?

It kind of looks sickly in the winter in cold areas, but thrives in the summer with gorgeous red flowers and lush twining green leaves/vines. It grows very fast in the summer.

Learn about the care it needs. I’m still learning. Hopefully I can keep it alive.

This is a very delicate plant, and very hard to take care of. I watered, and treated it, it exactly as Greg told me for about a month now, but it keeps getting worse :( I had this plant last year as well and it was doing better but the flowers would always fall off, and they still do now except they look more dead.
