Today, I'd like to introduce you to a truly special flower - the night - blooming jasmine (Telosma cordata).

The plants of the night - blooming jasmine are usually upright or nearly climbing. Its leaves are slender and smooth, with a vivid green color, exuding a vibrant energy. The flowers of the night - blooming jasmine are small and delicate, in the shape of slender tubes. The petals open slightly, mostly yellow - green or white, giving off a soft and unique luster in the night.

What is most astonishing about the night - blooming jasmine is its flowering pattern. During the day, it grows quietly, modestly hidden among the branches and leaves. However, when night falls and the earth becomes quiet, it blooms silently, releasing a strong and alluring fragrance.

But when it comes to keeping this charming night - blooming jasmine at home, caution is needed. Its fragrance is intense, and staying in its aroma for a long time may cause discomfort. Especially in a poorly ventilated indoor environment, it may affect sleep and breathing. If you have a courtyard, it is the perfect stage for it. When keeping it indoors, ensure smooth air circulation and a spacious space.

In traditional culture, the night - blooming jasmine also holds a unique position. It is often endowed with romantic and mysterious connotations and appears in many poems and songs of literati, adding a touch of poetic color to the night.

In addition, the night - blooming jasmine also has certain medicinal effects. After professional processing, its flowers and leaves can be used to relieve some physical discomforts. But remember, this must be done under the guidance of professionals. Never try it on your own.

Although the night - blooming jasmine is extremely beautiful and unique, there are still some key points to note during the maintenance process. It prefers a warm and humid environment with abundant sunlight but should avoid direct sunlight. It has high requirements for the drainage performance of the soil. When kept indoors, ensure smooth air circulation, as its strong fragrance may cause discomfort in an enclosed space. Water it moderately, following the principle of "water thoroughly when the soil is dry" to avoid waterlogging, which may lead to root rot.
