The smell of Jasmine is terrific. I love growing the plant indoors in the winter and outdoors on the porch in the summertime. I found a vining variety a few months ago, and it quickly thrived and outgrew its pot. After transplanting, the vines took off, sometimes appearing to grow an inch or two a day. I am hoping for a lot of bloom in the Spring, so I didn’t want to cut it back, but I needed portable support.
What I chose as support was inexpensive and light, and it works great with a shower curtain hook. A length of delicate chain cut the height of the window frame and attached with any hook allows the Jasmine vines to twine and grow upward. It hangs loose; attaching it to the pot or plant is unnecessary. Thigmotropism is the growth process that causes the Jasmine to twine and climb.
In plant biology, thigmotropism is a directional growth movement which occurs as a mechanosensory response to a touch stimulus. Thigmotropism is typically found in twining plants and tendrils

The Jasmine is behaving perfectly. I will unhook the chain in late spring and carry plant and vines onto the porch.
