Jasmine plant is dying!?

I have a jasmine plant, and most of the leaves have dried up and died. There is only one small stem coming from near to the base of the plant which still looks green and healthy.





I have cut all the dead stems down to earth level, but how do I stop the last healthy part of the plant from dying. The earth is quite moist. Did I overwater? I have only had the plant for about 4 months. When I got it there were flowers and buds on it. Some of the buds dropped off without opening, but I don't know why. Please help

Jasmine plant is dying!?
What type of Jasmine is it, and what part of the country do you live in?


The kind with White flowers is called Confederate and it is in the tropical range, may not winter in cooler climates.


The yellow blooming Carolina Jasmine can live in most cooler climates, some will lose their leaves but come back in the spring, while in warmer to mild, will stay green all winter.





So if yours is the yellow blooming type, do not give up yet, start watering it and a bit of miracle grow now that spring is here and see if buds start to come on. But if you live in the North and bought white blooming Confederate Jasmine, Good Luck. Would love to hear from your personally about the kind you have and if Confederate, did it come back if you are in a cold climate, cause you have a new breed I would LOVE to have a piece of! LOL


Sincerely,

Reply:There are generally 2 types of jasmine sold in garden centres in Europe. Both have whitte flowers and are beautifully scented especially the 1st type.


1. Stephanotis floribunda (Madagacar jasmine). this has a glorious scent with large white blooms of a silky texture. As its origin suggests it is a tropical plant of great beauty, and needs special care. Keep just moist in Winter with more watering in Summer. Do not place in full sun or full shade,


find it a home in a light warm situ and leave it there. Changes in temp. will not go down well with this beauty, and no daughts


please. Symptons of over watering are leaves turning yellow


and flower buds and leavea falling off. I had two quite large


ones of this variety, but lost them by over watering,killed by kindness, the most common demise of household plants.





2. Is the most common, sold in great abundance all over Europe, I forget its full name now, it is just sold as Jasmine.


This also has white flowers which are much smaller and of


a different texture to the above. These are hardy little devils


the only thing that will see them off is overwatering or being allowed to dry out completely. I have had one of this variety growing outside up my house for years now, it never fails each Spring to remind me its there . This will grow anywhere apart


from full sun window sill or total shade.


Both these varieties are climbers and are normally purchased winding their way around wire arches.


I suspect your jasmine to be the former, and I'm sorry to say


m'dear that your plant is beyond redemption, with regards to


the symptons you describe.


Never mind life goes on, its nearly Easter, go out and treat


yourself to a new plant, I recommend the Stephanotis. Follow the above guidelines and htis wonderful plant will give years


of pleasure both to the eye and the nose.


Happy Easter

By the way we have a beautiful spring day here, just nipping out to see whats growing, or isn't.


sorry i nearly forgot do not over feed..very weak solution twice year is sufficient
Reply:water and a slow release fertilizer should do the trick
Reply:Jasmine does like a moist soil, but it needs to be well-drained. That could be the problem. Also, extreme winters can severly damage the plant. This could be it also.

I have Confederate Jasmine on my place and have been unsuccessful in getting rid of it. No matter what i do it just keeps comming back. U would think that it is a Kudzu plant the way that it does not know how to die.
Reply:Bad watering is the most likely cause sounds like you have let it dry out at some stage the compost should be moist at all times! I would put it in a well lit spot and try to be more constant with the watering a little bit a day for the time being then increase as the weather warms up start feeding once a week from about mid April!
