Pruning is crucial for promoting new growth and extending the blooming period of night-blooming jasmine. Regularly removing dead or damaged branches encourages the plant to produce healthy and fragrant blooms. To prune your night-blooming jasmine effectively, follow these guidelines: Moving on in the story, a new girl called Jasmine came to Violet's school and chose her as a friend. Jasmine has long hair, is very pretty and wears amazing bohemian outfits. The whole class wants to be her friend, but she chooses Violet because they both have flower themed names. Violet was thrilled and spent a lot of time with Jasmine. Despite adoring Will, she even once refused to spend a day with him and instead, went to Jasmine's house. One day, Violet's father said that they were to go to their Gran's house to wish her a happy birthday but Will refused because of how she had charmlessly told him about his being adopted. Violet's dad gets quite mad and when Violet says no as well, he is ready to hit them but doesn't. Violet's mother as usual gives in and makes a fuss when she finds out that they both are not going. In the end, they leave without them. Will and Violet start playing 'Truth and Dare' and Will asks Violet that if she could have a love affair with any one, who would it be, so Violet said Casper Dream. Violet asks the same question to Will but before he can answer, Jasmine calls and asks for help with her maths homework. Will, much to Violet's surprise (as he hates for her to have friends over), invites Jasmine himself. They work for a while and then play Truth and Dare where Will asks Violet who she likes better, him or Jasmine. When Violet fails to come up with a reply, Will dares her to spend 10 minutes in the attic.

Night-Blooming Jasmine thrives in USDA zones 8-11 with 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. For indoor or cooler climates, plant in pots with a sandy soil and peat moss mixture, ensuring good drainage. Soak seeds before planting, water consistently, and place the pot in a sunny spot. Repot every two years to maintain healthy growth and prevent root-bound issues. Selecting Similar Plants

How to Grow a Night Jasmine

Common Jasmine (Jasminum officinale): This popular species of jasmine produces white, fragrant flowers from summer to fall. Like the night-blooming jasmine, it prefers well-draining soil and regular watering. It can be grown as a vine or shrub and is perfect for trellises, fences, or hedges.

Ingesting 15lb of plant material caused a cow to salivate, clamp its jaws, collapse, and eventually die. A postmortem showed gastroenteritis and congestion of liver, kidneys, brain, and spinal cord. Although the berries and the sap are suspected of being toxic, [13] several cases of ingestion of the berries have not shown them to be a problem, with one exception. Morton [14] cites two cases where children ate significant quantities (handfuls) of berries and had no significant effects and another two where berries were ingested in smaller amounts, with similar negative results."; and in a new paragraph noted that "Ingestion of green berries over several weeks by a 2-year-old child resulted in diarrhea, vomiting, and blood clots in the stool. Anemia and purpura [discoloration of the skin caused by subcutaneous bleeding] were also noted. A solanine alkaloid isolated from the stool was hemolytic to human erythrocytes. [15]"

Useful extras...

If your climate is cooler or if you want to grow the plant indoors, planting in pots is the way to go. Use a pot with at least one drainage hole to prevent water buildup, which can cause root rot. A mixture of sandy soil and peat moss works well as a potting medium for night-blooming jasmine, but make sure to keep the pH at a healthy level (around 6.0-7.5).
