What Is the Ideal Temperature Range for Orange Jasmine?

Orange jasmine demonstrates moderate resilience to temperature fluctuations. It tolerates cold down to approximately 5℃ (41℉) and can withstand heat up to 43℃ (109℉). These tolerances mean orange jasmine may need protective measures such as frost cloths in colder zones or shading and increased watering during heatwaves. In extreme cold, the plant may exhibit leaf drop or dieback, while extreme heat can cause wilting and leaf scorch. Counteracting cold involves using insulating materials, while mitigating heat requires ample hydration and shade. Understanding these temperature limits helps ensure orange jasmine's health across diverse environments.
