Sternjasmin: Is he sufficiently hardy?
The poisonous star jasmine, which is poisonous for humans and animals, sets beautiful accents with its snow-white flowers and seduces with its strong scent. But do you enjoy it again every year if you leave it outside without any protection during the winter?
This tropical plant is badly hardy
Originally the star jasmine is native to Asia. There he grows in the tropical forests of Japan, China and Korea. For this reason, it is not adapted to extreme minus temperatures, as they can occur in this country in winter. Only for a short time can it absorb it with temperatures down to -10 ° C.
In mild conditions: outdoor wintering may work
Only in mild climates such as in wine-growing areas could it be worth trying to bring this climbing plant out through the winter. But in general, the danger is too high that her instincts freeze. If you really want to plant them in the field, protect them in the root area, at least in winter, for example in the form of twigs.
The best wintering method
It is most ideal if you plant your star jasmine in a tub. It allows you to rearrange the plant at any time and bring it in in the fall, so it does not freeze. In the middle of May or after the Eisheiligen she should be allowed to move back into the open air.
This is important when wintering the star jasmine - also the freshly propagated specimens:
Care during the winter time
During wintering, the plant should be little watered. Further care is not necessary. Fertilization should not be used in winter. It is recommended to regularly examine the star jasmine for an attack with spider mites, wool lice and mealybugs.
Tips
Even in winter, the star jasmine looks beautiful. Its evergreen leaves turn reddish in cooler temperatures.
