Cestrum nocturnum tips from Logee's

Just got these tips in an email from Logee's on how to get your Cestrum nocturnum (night blooming jasmine) to bloom. I thought some people would find them helpful:

Growing Tips for Cestrum Nocturnum "The Night Blooming Jasmine"

*Full to partial sunlight is needed. The more sunlight the better.

*Once the growth has hardened and the leaves are mature, flowers form along the leaf nodes on the stems.

*To increase flowering, new growth needs to reach maturity as quickly as possible.

*Grow under high light and do not over fertilize.

*Grow on the dry side; this will hasten maturity.

*Prune once the flowering cycle on a stem is finished.

*Prune severely, leaving only 2 or 3 nodes from where the growth originated.

After pruning, "The Night Blooming Jasmine" will quickly re-sprout and once again a new stem will develop, which when mature will flower. To maintain as a contained potted plant, prune hard on a regular basis.
