    The plant needs water approximately 1-2 times per week. Regularly check the dryness of the soil before watering. Make sure the plant is not overwatered to prevent root rot.

  • Indoor plants like Tabernaemontana divaricata are best pruned in the spring to maintain their shape and size. Remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches and trim flowering branches back after they have bloomed to maintain their shape. Always cut branches at an angle above a bud or leaf node for proper healing of the wound.

    The plant likes to be watered regularly but moderately. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between watering. Make sure there is no stagnant water at the bottom of the pot.

    The plant needs well-draining potting soil to prevent the roots from becoming too wet. Preferably, use a mixture of potting soil with some perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage. Make sure the potting soil remains lightly moist, but not too wet.

    The plant thrives best in well-draining, moist, and fertile soil. Ensure that the soil is not too wet to prevent root rot. Avoid too acidic or too salty soil for optimal growth.

    Tabernaemontana divaricata requires a lot of light to grow and bloom properly. Place the plant in a sunny location, but avoid direct sunlight during the afternoon hours. If the plant doesn't receive enough light, it can result in reduced growth and blooming.

    The optimal temperature for this plant is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Make sure the plant is not exposed to extreme heat or cold. Place the plant in a spot with a constant temperature and avoid drafts.

    Houseplants thrive at a humidity level of about 60%. It is important to maintain the humidity by regularly spraying or using a humidifier. Low humidity can lead to the leaves drying out.

    The ideal acidity level for houseplants is usually neutral to slightly acidic, with a pH between 6 and 7. A good potting soil with sufficient drainage can help maintain the proper acidity level. It is important to regularly test the soil's pH value to ensure that the plant can absorb enough nutrients.

    The plant needs regular feeding during the growing season in spring and summer. Use a balanced fertilizer for houseplants and avoid over-fertilizing to prevent root damage. Do not give the plant fertilizers in the fall and winter, when growth slows down.
