One tablespoon per plant suffices. Over-fertilizing risks growth imbalance and potential toxicity. Gradually alter amounts as orange jasmine matures, tapering with age. Dilute fertilizer to half-strength; orange jasmine's roots are sensitive. Ensure even soil distribution without direct contact. Wear gloves, and water orange jasmine post-application to facilitate nutrient absorption and prevent root burn.
