Bouvardia longiflora, Bouvardia humboldtii

The jasmine-scented white flowers are 3 inches long (7.5 cm).

During the growing season, water regularly to keep the soil moist but never soggy. Water less frequently during the winter, allowing the plant to dry slightly, but never completely, between waterings. This plant is accustomed to high humidity; mist the foliage each morning. Provide at least six hours of bright, indirect light.

Propagation: Cuttings
