Hazari Mogra, a highly fragrant and floriferous variety of Jasminum sambac, is cherished for its dense clusters of layered white blooms. Known for its strong perfume and continuous flowering habit, this plant is ideal for gardens, balconies, and terrace pots. With the right care, Hazari Mogra rewards you with year-round blossoms, especially during warm months. Here is a complete guide to help your plant thrive.

Hazari Mogra Care Guide :

1. Light Requirements

Hazari Mogra loves sunlight. For best flowering, provide 5–7 hours of direct sunlight daily. Morning sun is ideal, while intense afternoon sun is also tolerated if the plant is well-hydrated. In shaded spaces, the plant will grow foliage but produce fewer buds. If kept indoors temporarily, move it back to a bright outdoor location as soon as possible.

2. Watering

This jasmine variety prefers moderately moist soil. Water the plant when the top layer feels dry to the touch.

• Summer: Water frequently, but avoid waterlogging.

• Rainy season: Reduce watering because roots can rot in standing water.

• Winter: Water lightly as the plant’s growth slows down.

Always ensure excess water drains out from the pot. Avoid misting on buds because water droplets may cause bud drop.

3. Soil Mix

Hazari Mogra grows best in a loose, airy, and nutrient-rich soil mix. A good potting mix must include:

• Garden soil – 40%

• Cocopeat or leaf compost – 30%

• Perlite or sand – 20%

• Cow manure or vermicompost – 10%

This combination ensures proper drainage and root development. Avoid heavy clay soil, as it restricts aeration and causes root rot.

4. Fertilization

This heavy-blooming jasmine needs regular feeding to produce abundant flowers. Feed every 15–20 days with:

• Organic compost (vermicompost or cow dung)

• Mustard cake water

• A balanced NPK fertilizer such as 10:26:26, especially during the flowering season

For increased bud formation, add a pinch of potash-rich fertilizer or banana peel liquid. Avoid excess nitrogen, as it encourages leafy growth instead of flowers.

5. Pruning and Pinching

Regular pruning keeps your Hazari Mogra compact and full of branches.

• Major pruning: Late winter or early spring (February–March).

• Pinching: Throughout the growing season, pinch off the tips to encourage more side branches.

Remove dead, dry, or diseased twigs immediately. This stimulates new growth and increases the number of flowering nodes.

6. Pot Size & Repotting

Start with an 8-inch pot and upgrade every year as the plant grows. Mature Hazari Mogras thrive in 12–14 inch pots with good depth. Repotting should be done in early spring using fresh nutrient-rich soil. Avoid repotting during peak flowering.

7. Temperature & Humidity

Hazari Mogra performs best between 18°C and 35°C. It can tolerate mild heat but struggles in extreme cold. Protect the plant from heavy frost by shifting it indoors or covering it with a breathable fabric. It enjoys moderate humidity but must not sit in soggy conditions.

8. Pest & Disease Control

Common pests include aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat early using:

• Neem oil spray (weekly)

• Insecticidal soap

• A mixture of neem oil + shampoo + water

If you notice yellowing leaves, check for poor drainage or nutrient deficiency. Fungal issues can be prevented by avoiding overhead watering and ensuring good air circulation.

9. Flowering Tips

To maximize blooms:

• Give full sunlight

• Follow regular feeding schedule

• Keep the soil slightly on the dry side before the flowering season

• Do light pruning to encourage new shoots

• Avoid moving the plant frequently when it has buds

Conclusion

With sunlight, proper watering, and regular feeding, Hazari Mogra will stay healthy and flower generously throughout the year. This plant is perfect for anyone who loves fragrant gardens and traditional Indian jasmine blossoms. Following this care guide ensures your Hazari Mogra remains a stunning and aromatic addition to your plant collection.
