Jasmine is available in countless ways
The term "jasmine" is used by hobby gardeners for a variety of species. Most of them, however, are not members of the Jasmine family. Many so-called jasmine plants are pipe shrubs, which differ above all by their winter hardiness of genuine jasmine.
When is it real jasmine?
For the layman, it is not easy to distinguish the individual species. A good distinguishing feature is the winter hardiness. True jasmine is not hardy, all other types of jasmine only can spend the winter outdoors.
A clue is the botanical name. If he starts with "Jasminum", it is real jasmine.
What is common to all true and fake jasmine species is that they are perennial with proper care and can grow quite old if you rejuvenate them from time to time by cutting.

Almost all jasmine species suitable for the room
Almost all real Jasmine are suitable for the care as a houseplant. Most varieties need to be pulled on a trellis. Alternatively, plant jasmine in a hanging basket and let the long shoots hang down decoratively.
During the winter season, real jasmine must move from the living room to a cooler place. In its resting phase, the plant should not stand warmer than ten degrees, otherwise it will not bloom again.
Tips
"Jasmine Nightshade" (Solanum jasminoides), which belongs to the same family as the gentian shrub and comes from Brazil, is happily kept in the bucket. It is also a non-hardy climbing plant, but blooms in contrast to real jasmine almost all year round.
