Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture retention.
Also known as Yellow Jasmine
Fragrant Jasmine (Chrysojasminum odoratissimum) is a small evergreen shrub native to the Canary Islands, known for its intensely fragrant, star-shaped white flowers.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture retention.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done throughout the year to manage size.
Harder pruning can be undertaken in late winter before new growth begins.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and insert into a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm, ideally in a propagator, until roots form.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining, peat-based compost.
Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
