In this video, I want to share with you the secret to getting your Winter Jasmin to flower abundantly every year as a houseplant.
After my last video, I had quite a few people tell me that they can’t get their Jasmin to flower after the first year..
So stay tuned because there are two very important things that you MUST do in order to firstly get your jasmine polyanthum to flower again but also to flower well with lots and lots of beautiful sweet-smelling flowers indoors. So stay tuned and I will reveal all..
Some people will buy a jasmine polyanthum and it will flower that year and smell amazing but then never flower again so they just throw it away. That’s a real shame because they are amazing plants that offer such amazing displays every year together with the most amazing scent, especially when you have plenty of flowers.
I have had quite a few people contact me after my last Jasmin video asking about this issue so here is my tips to getting the most from your winter Jasmin.
Firstly you should prune after flowering in late spring, remove the old dead flowers and cut back the stems, at this point if you keep it cool enough you might get a second flowering which is a bonus!
Now the next thing I do is put it outside for the summer and autumn period so most of the time it will be outside in its pot, place it somewhere that will get some direct sun for a period of time but not full sun all day because that will fry it, especially if you live in a hot part of the world in which case give it some morning sun.
So just water it regularly throughout the summer and let it grow away with an occasional feed of diluted plant food, say half strength, as it grows it will get quite straggly as it’s a climber it puts out shoots, if you prune these shoots back every so often what will happen is it will split off and produce two more shoots, so if you keep doing this over the summer you will have more and more offshoots, each of these will eventually create flower buds in late autumn so the more shoots you prune back in the summer the more flowers you will have in the summer, that’s why if you ever see a well clipped climbing Jasmin in a garden it will be full of flowers! So you can prune your Jasmin until the autumn but be sure to stop pruning around October time in the UK which is out autumn.
So after the pruning the next crucial thing that your Jasmin MUST have is a period of cold temperature in late autumn, so this would be around 10 Celsius or 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and not for a day or two, it needs a few months of this temperature to stimulate the production of the flower buds.
So in the UK I leave my Jasmine outside until late Autumn when the temps are around 10c and bring it inside before any frosts because we don’t want it to get frosted, but even when I bring it in I leave it in my back porch which will still have low night-time temps throughout the winter and so it will be protected from the frosts but will still be kept in cool temps from October until it flowers in March, so if you have an unheated area of your house that is cool or a garage with windows so it still gets light then this would be a good place to keep it, then it will produce the flower buds from all the pruned offshoots over the summer and come late February early March you will get an amazing display of flowers if you want them to last the longest try to keep it somewhere cool, but if you just want to enjoy the flowers and the scent you can bring it inside the house for the flowering period but be aware that the flowers may last less time in a warm environment.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing!
Amazing thank you so much!!!!
Thanks a lot for the tips!
Happy to help!
Will follow your advice:)
Imma need to get a Jasmine again real quick overwatered my last one 😭 great vid man!
Thanks Max! :-)
I found your talk very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful! :-)
I’ve never know someone to have a jasmine plant in there room , pretty cool . Thank you for your tips . I just bought my first pink jasmine plant from Trader Joe’s . I’m going to buy a trellis at the .99 cent store tomorrow because you mentioned it . Thank you again , cheers from Riverside , Ca. Zone 9b
Have fun! That's what this hobby is all about! Thanks for your comment and keep me posted on how you get on. Andy
very informative thank you for sharing
Thank you for Watching!
Great, thanks
I am sorry last year I kept it outside and lots of bugs so I bought another one that I keep it in other in terms of cut the dead flowers you are right thank you
Very nice
Great. Haven't got my jasmine yet - I will get one. We are cold here in this area in Winter although not very wet and dark so it really would be nice to have. I will have to adapt it a little to your guidelines - no frost here so it could probably stay out longer but I think it would have to come in pretty early before the Summer months as the heat would be too much. They are everywhere in the gardens of the Alhambra but there is a microclimate and of course there is not one here 👍
Sounds great! I want to see photos when you do! :-)
Have one in my garden, but doesn't flower much, and am in Glasgow. Have learnt now, to trim it back, as I don't like to take away growth, thanks 👍
Yes, trimming back will actually create more dense growth which will have more flower buds on. Thanks for your comment.
Hi ,hope you are well ,thanks for a the information, what type of soil is best ?
Nice video thanks
Thank you too!
Really nice video
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :-)
In end of May when we found our house the Jasmine were in full bloom smelled amazing …by the time we moved I. The had no smell then shortly after all the blooms fell off😢 the vine is growing but no flower…all our aromatic plants stopped growing. Maybe time of year
Hello Andy
I have one in a pot and kept it in garden shed with fleece jacket. Very early signs of buds formation in end November 2021 in Midlands. Should I keep in in shed in cold till they are very well formed?
Have a conservatory which is heated so may not be suitable
Hi Robert, it should be fine to bring in now, I brought mine in last week and I have it in a cool back porch. If it’s warmer the flowers will probably just arrive sooner. Please let me know how it goes! Andy
Hey, thank you for the video! What type of Jasmine is this one? I wanted to get one but I saw there are many types and I got confused. I prefer the type with the best scent of course :)
Yes, they are called different names sometimes, I have left a link in the description where you can get one on eBay, but Jasmine Polyanthum is the one you're looking for. :-)
My container star jasmine is now almost 6ft tall and about 2ft wide. I hope youve since made a video on how to prune it back because it grew 5 feet last summer and want it to remain in the same very large container. Therefore I shall have to prune it back this spring after flowering
It sounds quite happy, the more you prune the more flower spikes you will get so go to town!
Can you leave it out side in winter if you protect it?
Hi Andy I recently bought a humidifier I've been putting it on for an hour in morning and night on high. Is this too much? . If so can you tell me how long I should leave it on for?
That should be fine Aiden
What’s the song in your intro? ☺️
Hi Andy I wanted to ask about how much percent humidity this plant needs when indoors for winter?. I have one of those metres that tell you how much humidity is in the air
I don't think humidity is too much of an issue for this plant, I don't use any additional humidity and it's never looking dray, as long as it's watered well and not kept close to a heat source then it should be fine for the few months it stays indoors. My house sits around 58 - 60% for reference.
Hi
I got this plant home a month ago. It is fully root bounded. Water always comes down the sides of the pot and the leaves are drying up.
Should I repot it now to a bigger pot or should wait till summer?. I am from zone 5.
Repot it immediately and add seasol or powerfeed
I live in Texas, How much sun does it need in the summer? Would it be better on a patio with indirect sun or morning sun? Would it be ok near a indoor window without direct sun?
I imagine the Texas summer sun might scortch the leaves so early morning sun, indirect sun as you say or late afteroon sun would probably be best and plenty of water.
Hi can you make tea, with this kind of jasmine, cause people say its a fake jasmine that can be poisonous? Is this true, thanks
I belive you can with the dried flowers but don't take my word for it, I haven't done any research on the subject so better to get some professional advise just to be safe.
Hi Andy, I got so inspired by this videos on this topic that I bought a polyanthum myself. I bought it in full buds but I in this first week I can tell the buds are drying up. Do you have any tips on how to prevent is spreading? I am keeping it withing a group of plants under a growlight and with a humidifier near to it.
Thanks on forehand,
Emillio
They tend to do this if they are drying out too much, if the soil quality isn’t great from the grower sometimes its hard to get enough water to the roots, water can fall down the sides of the pot and out the bottom. Maybe try putting it in the sink and watering well but gently, let it sit for a while and then water again. Once you are sure all the soil is well watered all the way through place it somewhere in a bright location and see how it goes. Good luck and let me know how you get on. 🤞
Hi would this work for star jasmine too
Certainly worth a go Sarah! I don't see why not.
When you place your jasmine plant outside, do you keep it in a shaded part or in full sun? Thanks for the tips.😊
They are quite hardy and will be happy enough in both conditions as long as it isn't deep shade, the sunny spot would be preferred I would say.
I have just purchased my first Jasmine plant and it has lots of buds on it now and is starting to flower.
Is this right for the time of the year only I thought they flowered more at the beginning of the year.
The grower will give them the light and heat to get them to flower when they are ready to be sold so they will often be flowering at different times when at the store.
I live in Toronto. I never pruned it and its reaching to my celing without flowers. Can i prune it now in indoor in January?
You can prune it now but maybe you wont get flowers this year, but better to make a more compact plant for more flowrs next year. Good luck.
I'm back to comment on my jasmin polyanthums (4) which I have indoors at the moment after being outside this summer (I'm in Montreal, Canada). So as of now, there are no buds. Just the long vines. Should i give up hope that I'll get flowers this winter? I never cut it back btw :(
There should be buds by now I would say, did it get cold enough before you brought it inside? It needs an initial cold period to tell it to make buds.
@@HouseplantHacks I'm in Canada, zone 5. I had them outside until early September. I don't think it got cold enough, to 10-15c overnight? Maybe a bit. But right now they're just long and leggy and no buds. I am so disappointed! SHould I just wait a month or so and then give them a hard prune and see what this year brings? Or just let them continue being a bushy mess?
Pssst! Pssst! Hey Mr. Mouse what's this about Andy having a back porch? We've never seen it! Well it's there! Have you ever seen it? God no! There's a lady that lives in there and you know what women do to mice! (shiver) Oh yeah, good point!
Its more of a houseplant storage location at the moment, it's quite cluttered! :-)
Please list a type of fertilizer 8:30:20 or …
Hello good video, I have a question, I have 3 year old outdoor star jasmine climber, very large & lush but no flowers 😕 , in fact it’s never blossomed, can you pls advise thank you
Mas
Same here healthy looking and lots of growth but not a flower 😳
@@mollymopswhits4326 I took his advice and tried cutting back its shoots that were spreading out, now it’s more dense & compact, let’s see if this forces a bloom,? Will repost results 👍
They need a period of cool temperature in the autum to set the flower buds for the following spring, so if you live in a country where it doesn't really get that cold from season to season then that might be the reason.
They need sunlight
Sunlight for flowrimg
Hi Andy I recently braught my jasmine inside it had thousands of tiny buds some of the leaves have dryd out and all of the buds died I was really upset someone kept leaving the bathroom window open and I was spraying it with water what should I do?
Thats a shame Aiden, it sounds like it has dried out, are you able to water it all the way through the pot so it comes out the bottom?
@@HouseplantHacks yes
@@HouseplantHacks hi should I still spray my jasmine with water indoors or only outside in the summer
Bro
which month blooming this flower ???? Plz tell me something
Right now bro!
Could do with a few closeups
How much light in the Winter ?
It depends on where you live, if you don't get much natural sunlight in the winter then try to give them, as much light as possible close to a window if you live in a hot country that is still hot in winter then not so much.
@@HouseplantHacks Thanks 😃
What if my Carolina jasmine has never bloomed ?
Then something is not ideal, sometimes they need a period of cool temperature to activate dormancy before the next flower cycle.
