It seems happy enough, it grows well (outside) and has tripled in size since I bought it but i have never seen a flower? (it is 3 years old). Is it not self polinating?
Why wont my night scented jasmine flower?
It really needs good baking sunshine. I feed this and other plants that are reluctant to flower with Sulphat of Potash, which is the nutrient specifically needed to make flower production.
This doesn't mean that general fertising isn't good too, I just use this as a supplement, to ensure that the best chances of flowering are given.
You don't need another plant to get it to flower, pollination (self or from other plants) is only required for seed production.
I also mulch my night scented jasmine, to help it retain water, which is easily lost during hot dry summer days. You can use some well rotted farm manure, chopped bark or some rotted garden compost. All will help improve the soil condition too.
Good luck! Summer's not summer without the scent of mine. I really hope that yours performs well this summer. Rob
Reply:If its in a pot,your using too rich a compost,if its in the ground,it needs its roots confined.
Reply:Have you prune it? Has it got enough sun? Has it got enough water?
Reply:Is it getting enough sun? I have a jasmine that gets a lot of sun, and one that does not - the sunny one blooms like crazy, while the shady one does not.
Reply:it should have started by now,could be its not getting enough sun, and give it a good watering.
Reply:Have you remembered to feed the Jasmine? it is a plant often overlooked when watering. Good Luck mine smells fantastic.
