Certified ExpertA.Soil for jasmine plants should be porous and may be modified with bark, coir or other organic materials, so your triple mix should be OK.

Certified ExpertA.This is the reverse of the most common issue that I come across. There is too much phosphorus and potassium in the soil, and not enough nitrogen. Adding a high nitrogen supplement will help with this issue.

Certified ExpertA.They are not particular about nutrients or soil, as long as the soil does not stay wet. Anything wrong with your plant is likely environmental, since they aren't really bothered by nutrient issues often.

August 25, 2019Q.Can I separate a stem of Jasmine, for potting?
I have a beautiful Jasmine in a pot and I recently chopped it all back to its stems, so it grows full and thick, it's doing beautifully but there is one branch that is much longer than the rest and I would like to know if I can cut it away from the rest of the plant, for potting elsewhere. I'm moving sometime in the next two months and I want to be sure they will prosper, until I plant them in their new home...a garden at last.

Safety Harbor, Florida - Zone 9B-10AQ.Will Night Jasmine bloom if pruned to only 3′ tall?
Due to the planting location of our Night Jasmine, we need to constantly prune it to approximately 3' to 4' high. We planted them one year ago (Sept. 2018). Unfortunately we have not see any flowering. We wanted the flowers as mosquito repellent. WILL WE EVER SEE FLOWERS WHILE MAINTAINING THIS HEIGHT? IS THERE A DWARF VARIATION? We're thinking Night Jasmine is similar to Bougainvilleas, just plant and leave it alone to enjoy its full potential. If that thought is accurate, any suggestions on a 3' to 4' high flowering mosquito repellent?

Certified ExpertA.There is no real scientific evidence that any plant will repel mosquitoes. The best you can do is rub the suggested mosquito plants on your skin for a repelling action from the oils. Below is a list of such plants.
Night jasmine should be pruned AFTER it blooms, so maybe that is the problem. They can grow to 8 feet tall and are used for privacy screens. Here is more information:

nn7Q.Dead wood on jasmine
We have had a Trachelospermum jasminoides in a large pot for 13 years. Earlier this year we thought we had lost it to frost but it has flowered profusely in parts, and rather late in the season. This is it now, middle of September. What needs to be done with it now? Thank you.
