I don't know why there is only a negative review on this plant. I for one love it. I have it growing in a pot in half shade and this year it bloomed very well for me. I don't pay it any special treatment, other than watering it with my other plants and throwing on a fertilizer once in a while when I remember. It seems to go through flushes, as soon as one flush has finished a new one appears within a week. Beautiful fragrance, although I need to put my nose right into the plant to smell it, but it is lovely. I have had no problems with disease or bugs and that is a big plus here in Florida where planting anything has it's problems. So a big A+ from me for this plant. I love it.
I have now murdered three dwarf tree jasmines. They are a gorgeous plant, even young and not blooming. They naturally look like a trained bonsai, and the leaves are very attractive. My problem is, they grow well for a year, then one day, I go out to the greenhouse, and the plant is collapsed. The next day it is all yellowed, and the next day, it is dead. It looks like a fungus attack.
This never happens the day after watering, and I have no forewarning. Now, growing it has become an obsession. I have always planted it in a sharply draining tropical mix and watered with collected rain water. Can anyone help? I'm on a waiting list for my next victim. Thanks.
