Orange jasmine needs winter care matched to actual temperatures and growth. Check the pot below the surface before watering a sheltered plant.
Keep orange jasmine in suitable winter shelter
Murraya paniculata needs conditions appropriate to its tropical or subtropical habit. Retain the label and check local cold guidance. An outdoor summer plant is not automatically safe through the same site's winter.
Preserve useful light
Choose a bright protected position rather than a warm dark corner. Avoid cold glazing, drafts and heat from appliances. Introduce major exposure changes gradually where possible and note moves when interpreting leaf loss.
Reassess the root supply
Slower growth can change drying, while heated air may dry small pots. Inspect beneath the surface and water when needed, letting excess leave. A dry top does not rule out saturation below.
Delay unnecessary stress
Prune and repot for clear needs when recovery conditions suit the plant. Keep healthy foliage and inspect pests or roots before strengthening feed. Fertilizer cannot compensate for poor light, cold damage or roots left persistently wet.
