Three kitchen ingredients make Coral Jasmine bloom profusely in Indian gardens

Three common kitchen ingredients—used tea leaves, onion-peel powder, and mustard seed mix—can make the sacred Shanku Pushpam (Coral Jasmine) plant bloom profusely, per gardening experts. The plant blooms from March to October and requires a 10x10 inch pot with proper drainage. Best growth comes from garden soil mixed with coconut coir, vermicompost, and calcium powder. Removing wilted flowers daily prevents seed-pod formation, ensuring continuous blooming. According to Vastu, placing it east or northeast brings prosperity. Chemical fertilizers and bone meal should be avoided; neem oil effectively protects the sacred plant from caterpillars.
