The magnificent evergreen flowering shrub known as the togor flower (Tabernaemontana divaricata), often referred to as the Chandni flower plant or the pinwheel flower, is a native of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. It also goes by the name crape jasmine in English. Moon beam, Nero's crown, tagar plant, tagar tree, east Indian rosebay, and carnation of India are some of its other names.
Because of its attractive flowers and leaves, it is grown as a house or greenhouse plant in climates where it is not hardy. The term "milk flower" comes from the milky latex that is released when the stem is injured.

Togor flower's physical characteristics
The plant normally grows to a height of 1.5–1.8 metres and has
dichotomously branching stems (5–6 feet).
The broad, glossy leaves are deep green in colour and measure
approximately 15 cm (6 in) in length and 5 cm (2 in) in width.
The waxy blossoms are arranged in small clusters at the stem
tips.
Both the single-flowered and double-flowered cultivars are
produced, and both feature white flowers.
The Togor plant blooms in the spring, but occasionally blossoms
are seen all year.
The Togor flower's flowers have a pleasant aroma.
3. How to grow a togor flower?
Choose a healthy, semi-hard stem that has sprouted this year.
Look for a green stem that is producing new leaves. It must
nevertheless be flexible.
Use small pruning shears to trim the stem to between 4 and 6
inches (10 and 15 cm) in length. Ideally, the stem should be cut
just below a leaf.
A cut made directly below a leaf node will increase the likelihood
that the stem will grow strong roots.
Remove the leaves from the base of the cutting. Check the
potting soil below the surface to make sure no leaves are buried
there.
The cutting will have a better chance of taking root if the top few
leaves are left on the stem.
The cutting's flowers should be deadheaded. You can improve
the cutting's health by doing this.
By absorbing nutrients from the rest of the plant, flowers will
naturally try to set seed.
4. Additionally, dead blooms will support the growth of mould,
destroying the rest of the cutting. Put a small amount of potting
soil in the container.
In the container, add healthy, pre-mixed potting soil. Using a
single container for many cuttings is suitable because you'll be
transplanting them once they've grown roots. After that, lightly
water the soil.
You shouldn't water the cuttings after planting them because
they don't yet have roots.
Instead, pre-moisten the ground. Place the clipping in potting
soil that has already been prepared.
Use your finger to press the dirt around the cutting. The earth
should be gently pressed up against the stem without being
moved.
When you're finished, the cutting should be firmly pressed up
against the top of the potting soil.
Put the cutting in the light of day. A sunny windowsill is a
pleasant place to sit.
Togor needs a lot of sunlight in order to survive.
Give the plant 4-6 weeks to develop roots. Once the cuttings'
roots have grown, you can transplant them into a new container.
Put the cutting in a hanging basket or pot. As long as it receives
enough sunlight, togor can be kept either indoors or outdoors
and thrives in a container.
How do I maintain a togor flower?
Sunlight
Keep the plant in a location with lots of direct sunshine for better
plant growth. Direct sunshine is ideal for togor plant growth.
Soil
5. The soil should be fertile, have a high organic content, and have
excellent drainage.
Watering
Potted plants need to be watered more frequently because they
dry up much more quickly. By probing the soil with your finger or a
simple small stick, you may determine how much moisture is
present. Water the area once the top inch or two of soil feel dry to
the touch. In the summer, water your plants freely; in the cold and
rainy months, water them sparingly.
Protection
Plant components that are harmed, ill, or dead should be removed
from the planting area. Mist neem, eucalyptus, or citrus oil to ward
off insect or pest attacks as a first line of defence.
Disease
It might be attacked by pests, which would eat the leaves and make
holes in it.
To accomplish this, you need routinely search for and get rid of such
leaves.
You can spray the leaves with neem oil to use as an organic
insecticide.
Don’ts
Togor thrives in cool environments, but not close to vents.
Avoid the risk of frost at all times of the year.
6. It is feasible to grow it during the monsoons, but if you are
doing it on the ground, watch out for root rot by making sure
the water doesn't sit too close to the roots for too long.
If growing in pots, place the container under a green net or
some other sort of shade to prevent overwatering by rain.
Keep the plant from getting too much water, especially if the
pot has no drainage holes.
