Trachelospermum Jasminodes/Star Jasmine

I planted this 16 months ago ...as a very healthy plant and since then it has gradually gone down hill .... i was blaming the weather but even last summer it was just the same....struggleing to put on growth....i've given it some bonemeal but still no joy...i'm wondering if it's the lime from the garage base that's upsetting it any ideas please

 

Hi Loli

I think its too exposed and with all this cold not good . I would dig up and re-pot give it some TLC and find a more sheltered spot for it to grow.

 

Thankyou Marley and Spruce....i'll dig it up and put it in a container untill it's 'better' then find a better home for it

 

Isn't it frustrating, though, when you decide on the 'perfect' plant for a situation and it sulks..... Wish I could suggest an evergreen alternative, Loli, but apart from Clematis armandii, which sheds it's horrible dead leaves too readily, can't think of anything apart from perhaps training a lime-loving shrub flat against the wall?

 

Yes noisette....i thought south facing, nice and warm, i was hoping for my Gertrude Jeykll rose to climb up and mingle with the Jasmine ....hey ho...i'll dig the Star Jasmine out tomorrow and try and get it back to health

 

Its at a time like this we could do with *dim*

 

I dug the Jasmine up last Saturday as advised by Marley and Spruceand i don'tknow if it's just my fancy but it looks to be improving already

Before....


After....

 

I agree Lolimac looking at the pics it certainly looks healthier! Well done isn't it great when that happens.

 

Yes, it's looking much better Loli, it's lost that withered look.

 

Really chuffed GA....and gratefull to Marley and Spruce...i don't know why i never thought of digging it up sooner....just kept trying to feed it instead

 

Just shows what a good team we have on GC.

 

it deffo does look much healthier, such a huge improvement in such a short period of time you can almost picture it taking a deep breath & letting out a huge sigh lol

 

You should Photoshop all your plants like that

 

missed this one

Looking good Loli
