ID: Jasmine plants Please

11 years ago

Hey all,

Can you please ID the following Jasmine plants please. They're all in their original potting mix. Not root bound as I know of. The small one was repotted with original potting mix with garden soil in the TC pot. Any tips and trick for growing better? Also are the shrubs or vines?

    They all look like sambac jasmines to me (Jasminum sambac).

    They can grow as a bush or if given support they can grow as a vine. It depends on how you want them to grow. I pinch mine back to encourage side shoots and to keep them bushy.

    In the first two pictures, the leaves seem more upright have a more crinkly texture. I am thinking it could be Mysore Mulli or Belle of India.

    I know the bright green one with the sticks was labeled sambac jasmine at home depot and that's pretty much it. I know the basic care just wanted to know if anything else would be good for it? Like Epsom salt and all.

    Dar should I post more clear photographs?

    I grow all my sambac jasmines in the fast draining 5:1:1 mix and use slow release all purpose Dynamite fertilizer in the potting mix. I use Ironite whenever the leaves start to yellow and occasionally will give a liquid fertilizer (Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro). I've also sprinkled Milorganite on top of the potting mix as well. Mine are in full sun. Does this help? :)

    This is smaller Jasmine plant. Not sure what it is but here are the pictures of the bloom.

    Ivan, the photos are good but I would just wait for it to flower. Hopefully that will be soon because I am anxious to see what variety you have. :)

    The single-flowered variety is commonly called 'Maid of Orleans'.

    Dar just noticed the small one is 2 separate plants. Should I remove and replant the other? Also I've read that If I strip off the older leaves it will induce new growth?

  • 11 years ago

    It's not necessary to separate. A lot of nursery plants are propagated that way with two or three cuttings in the same pot. It may create competition in the roots but it doesn't seem to hurt the flowering.


    I'm not sure about stripping the leaves, but if you prune off some tips, it will encourage more side branching and produce a bushier plant. Don't wait for your jasmine to become tall and leggy creatures.

    So you're saying to not let it grow bigger? But prune off tips? But will it yield in more blooms? Or not as much?

  • 11 years ago

    Dar I saw this video and this is what it said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt3uwX5WuVw

    I mean prune it so that it will develop a bushier form. That is where there are a lot of branches coming out from near the base. Thus producing more flowers.


    That technique of removing the leaves is interesting. I have no experience with it. I may try it myself.

    Awesome. I did not know that was you. However great video. I already did that for the jasmine plant that has the leaves facing up. So did I just kill it?

  • 11 years ago

    No you didn't. Make sure it is in early sun and not full sun yet , and water carefully, so as to not over or under water it.. Very weak fertilizer, however I would recomend waiting on it. HTH

    Radhavall well this is what I have done to the plant. Not sure which plant this is but here are the pictures.



    I didn't strip of that much on this one


    Here is another one which I have no idea about but did not strip


    These broke off so I rooted with honey 3 days back. It was all soft and bending but now it seems okay. Fingers crossed I hope they root.


  • 11 years ago

    I think they will be fine..

    Ivan Ferdous thanked flowers_galore
  • 11 years ago

    Yes, Radhavall...awesome video! Thank you for making it! I can't wait to give it a try.

  • 11 years ago

    Also any idea how I have mushrooms growing in the same container as my Jasmine? Will it be harmful? I removed it.



  • 11 years ago

    Should I also repot them for better growth? They're not fully root bound as I know of.

  • 11 years ago

    So guys the big plant that had no buds today I got a surprise. I saw the big folower that bloomed... Ita so large compared to the others. I think I broke off a bit before it was ready. It had petals under it as well. Any idea what type of jasmine this is?


  • 11 years ago

    are they from the same plant or 2 plants?

  • 11 years ago

    2 plants. The big flower is from the first plant from the first post and first picture I posted.

  • 11 years ago

    Here are a few better picture of the bloom I just picked off.







  • 11 years ago

    I think big flower is Belle of India and the small flower is either Maid of Orleans or Arabian Knights.

    Ivan Ferdous thanked fruits_veggies
  • 11 years ago

    So I'm guessing Belle of India takes a long time to bloom? It took over 2 months + to get buds and not finally blooming.







  • 11 years ago

    I don't know what to say.. but this is crazy. The smell is incredible. It doesn't hit you right away in my opinion as the Arabian or Maid of orleans does.. but when it does it is amazing. I have had well over 50+ blooms. I really need to start making some cuttings with these guys. Any idea on the best of doing this? Air rooting? Cutting in water? Rooting powder?
