Yes, Coral Jasmine can be grown in a large container while the plant is young and its growth is managed. Choose a sturdy pot with drainage holes and use fertile, well-drained soil. Place the container where the plant receives full sun or partial shade. As it grows, move it to a larger container when necessary and prune appropriately. Because it can become a large shrub or small tree, long-term container growing requires sufficient root space and regular maintenance.
