- 1). Cut out any dead, damaged or diseased foliage from the plant as it occurs, using small pruners. Cut the foliage back 2 to 3 inches beyond healthy wood.
- 2). Prune out 1/3 of last year's growth after the star jasmine finishes blooming in the early to midsummer. Cut out the growth that year's flowers bloomed on with the small pruners. The new growth will produce flowers for the following year.
- 3). Cut back the Chinese star jasmine into the confines of your planter to keep it in check. Use the small pruners to cut back any overgrown vines.
