Need Star Jasmine Tips!!

20 years ago

I got a Star Jasmine about two years ago and it does awesome outside, but when I bring it inside I have nothing but problems. This past winter it lost almost all its leaves before I noticed it had "bugs" all over it which I sprayed and sprayed and got rid of. Now the leaves are starting to grow back and I see that some of them are now also falling off. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Or, what I should be doing??

Is your plant still indoors? Is the weather warm enough to vacation it outdoors during spring and summer? What type
of spray are you using? Have you fertilized it, if yes when? How large is your Plant? Container size? Soil? More info
would help us help you.

My plant is still indoor for a couple more months, I WAS spraying with an organic spray (can't remember name right now), I have not fertilzed it in a while because of the problems I have been having, my plant is about four feet tall and it is in about a 20 inch pot (maybe a little larger). I'm also not sure how much to water and how often.

I would let the top 4-5 inches of soil dry out before thoroughly soaking again (in the bathtub?) with a very dilute fertilizer.

It is probably languishing due to indoor heating and less light.
