Hello!

can someone help me identify this plant? It sheds a lot and doesn't look very healthy, and i don't know how to take care of it properly 'cause i have no idea about its name (location: Philippines): whether it likes sunlight or shadow, lots of water or little... i adopted it from previous appartment tenant and would hate to see it die :(

thanks!
Lena

I think it is Tabernaemontana divaricata, cape jasmine.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tabernaemontana divaricata, cape jasmine
