water when a plant needs water ... not on some schedule ... how do you know when it needs water ...

the media looks like all peat ... does it ever dry??? .. insert finger.. or poke around in there with a teaspoon or something.. AND FIND OUT ...

does the pot have drain holes???

is it outside?? .. where are you. big city name ...

you must perfect proper watering.. before it goes into sun ...

welcome to the forums ...

Those are the worst to grow even in the perfect soil and the perfect environment! I stopped buying them. It doesn't take much for it to contract a disease on the leaves and wipe them all the way. Good luck with it. I couldn't save any of all the ones I had once that took over.

Hello and thanks for the greetings.

I am really struggling with this jasmine, every time it's something (sun, leaf mites.. Wilting occasionally ) it's so sensitive

The pot has holes and it's well drained(yes it's a whole peat moss the high quality one you can see if it's dry it dries all at once)

I planted it in a pot in the meantime to replant it in the garden in winter 1-2 Months from now

I live in a hot climate summer times reach 35 Celsius approx. But now the winter is close its about 22-29 Celsius.

I hope i succeed with this one, it has great followers as I understand

They are well know for contracting brotritys. Like certain begonia and violets. You can touch the leaves with water and humidity which they thrive on is sometimes a destroyer.
Maybe neglect and arid conditions would do the trick.
I did notice a few at the greenhouse which looked like that and once they threw them in a hot dry house , some of them seemed to recover. The browning leaves just got crinkly dry and fell off and new green growth was coming in. Who knows )

I have not seen botritys in warmer climates generally. Abbas, please provide us with your location or we may giving completely awful advice. What ails a plant in the temperate climate can be very different from what happens in the tropics.

Hi dear,

I live in the northern district of Palestine, in summer we have hot sun ( up to 35 Celsius)

Please see where I am intending to plant beside the wall in a hole in the concrete.. It's deep in there and open down the concrete (it will receive direct sun about from 1:45pm until approx. 7pm in summer)

By the way the first plant I planted also here and covered it with that mesh to protect from too much direct sun, eventually wilted and died.

Please see the plants main bark (I guess it's still relatively a small plant, am I wrong?)

My belief is that nursery plants aren't accustomed to real weather because every plant I buy doesn't handle well the sun, even a 6+ daily sun plants gets shocked a bit but eventually recovers. This one doesn't

First of all, I admire you for keeping up with your gardening in Palestine. I am sure people there live normal lives like everyone else but I do feel for the difficult circumstances ordinary Palestinians probably face in their every day life.

What kind of temperatures do you have in the winters? How long do winters last? The roots are exposed too much, I would add some media to cover it. I would also water it based on its need, rather than on a schedule. Poke your finger deep into the mix and if it isn't damp, it needs to be watered. Wilting of the newer growth is also a sign it needs water unless it is root rot or fungal wilt. That hole in the ground does not look very inviting. I would keep the plant in the pot and increase the size of the pot as needed. If you want it in the ground, find a more plant friendly place, such a regular spot in the garden if you have one. God knows what kind of soil is under that hole, if it it dries sufficiently or is too dry etc.

getgoing100_7b_nj thanks for the insight!

Here we are Ok for the most part and life is fine thanks for asking!

In winter approx. Temperature is around 10-18/22 Celsius

I just want to ask, generally jasmines are very tough and hardy I have seen many jasmines before as people stated it survives almost without water, why this one is so different ? And is it worth it growing it for the flowers?

Appreciate your help😊

Perhaps you should plant it is well draining mix of peat/perlite/sand/coco-peat. Peat alone can dry out completely and difficult to wet throughout. keep track of watering, and see how much sun it can take. Afternoon sun can be harsh, especially so in summers. Personally, I find the smell of jasmine polyanthum a bit unpleasant. The jasmine officianale/grandiflora is nicer (and it also blooms for much longer) but I like jasmine sambac/arabian jasmine to be the best in terms of fragrance. However, the sambac is a very slow grower, at least for me. Other vigorous jasmine like plants include stephanotis and cestrum nocturnum but they are also not as long blooming as grandiflora or sambac. What is a tough plant in one location can be a PITA in another. Right now I have the grandiflora, cestrum in bloom, sambac and stephanotis have buds . Will send some pics later. I think it's worth growing them for sure but you could always grow a different fragrant plant instead. What can be grown easily and successfully will likely bring more joy. Have you tried growing plumeria?

That looks like a reasonably good size for a potted jasmine. It looks healthy to me, a random dry leaf or branch notwithstanding. It should bloom this winter, just don't let it dry out too much or down in too much water.

I am with Getgoing in that I too hope everything is ok for all of you over in that part of the world. I feel bad seeing what I see. But it's nice to know you can have some normalcy and plant things to bring joy.))

I have always wanted to grow that particular jasmine and it's the only one I have ever had a problem with. I have several types and that one to me is known for the leaves to do that. But maybe in your area it will take strong after a try at it.

If you are going to keep it in a pot, make sure the mix is porous not allowing the roots to sit in water long. One that dries out rapidly, does not compact and hold dissolved salts.

Please keep us posted. As long as the roots are fine maybe it will heal itself and do well for you since your climate is much better than mine.

Thank you all for the feedback ❤️

Getgoing when I get plants from nursery I dig with my hands around the bark to reach for the root crown and try to plant it a bit exposed in order to prevent crown rot. Which I had a problem with my lemon tree I planted it a bit deep which isn't recommended.

Nursery multiply plants by cutting and when they do they plant deep in order to get greater success.. But once established it could case problems based on research from the web. You can also see many YouTube on this disease and prevention methods

Have a nice evening

I understand your point about root rot, but leaving the root crown exposed to direct late afternoon sun at 35 centigrade or generally high temperatures just might be why you have browning of the leaves/stem. Polyanthum don't necessarily need so much direct sun. If you want to cover that huge trellis with a fragrant vine, I would suggest stephanotis. It is a vigorous grower and has pretty leaves. With acclimation, it will take the hot sun as well, perhaps with some shade in peak summer. Here is my motley crew of jasmine/jasminoids.

Getgoing, great growing. Wow

Thank you

Getgoing,

I have noticed that the stem are browning/blackening.. Did it happen to you on your jasmines? What could be it, is it normal? Because normally they should be clean green color

Thanks
