Bougainvillea glabra
Both plants thrive in similar conditions (full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil) and their contrasting textures and colors create visual interest. The Bougainvillea's vibrant bracts complement the Star Jasmine's delicate white flowers.
Ipomoea purpurea
common morning-glory
Ipomoea purpurea

Both are vigorous vines that can quickly outgrow each other, leading to competition for sunlight, water and nutrients. Star Jasmine's delicate nature may be overwhelmed by the more aggressive growth of Morning Glory.

Aphids

Small, soft-bodied insects that suck sap from the plant's leaves and stems, causing leaf curling, yellowing, and stunted growth. They excrete honeydew, which can attract sooty mold.

Spider mites

Tiny arachnids that feed on plant sap, causing stippling, webbing, and leaf discoloration. Infestations can lead to leaf drop and plant stress.

Steps:

    • Take 4-6 inch cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems.
    • Remove lower leaves.
    • Dip cuttings in rooting hormone.
    • Plant cuttings in well-draining potting mix.
    • Keep moist but not soggy.
    • Place in a warm location with bright, indirect light.

Neem oil

Effective natural insecticide against aphids and spider mites.
