Ok, it's just a bit cooled down here as the Fall is coming. My jasmine has been doing just ok, I think, since moved inside. I think it's not 'thriving' at this moment probably because of insufficient sunlight (have spotted a place it can receive maximum light though). All I heard is that indoor jasmine need 4-6 hrs of direct sunlight a day in winter time. Sadly I find no way I can provide that luxury for mine Sad Anyone suggest my jasmine is doomed for the coming winter?

On the other hand, all I read about jasmine (and many other vines) points to a common scenario that they all go dormant in winter under hush weather... Those vine gardener experts almost all suggest that as the vines go dormant, trim off diseased, dried, dead branches/leaves and reduce water amount... so is this suggesting it's ok for the indoor jasmine if not enough sunlight received in winter for they go dormant anyway?

And nobody describes what would happen other than stop growing when jasmine go dormant in winter? Will they further wither, shed leaves, change leaf/branch color, ... ? I am just nervous to try getting everything ready for the winter for my jasmine and would like to know what will happen and what I can expect when the cold season (may go under 40F outside here in the desert) comes. Hope will receive good advice here especially from the experienced jasmine growers. Thanks
If a plant looks good, smells good, don't eat it, grow it!
