This channel is for fragrant plant lovers. Sharing my experiences on some of plants I have collected and hope to gain more plants in the future. Most plants I have collected usually met my three requirements: pleasant fragrance, pest resilience, and easy to care for. I be updating plants weekly. We will see how the plants grow over the years and as well as some of things we can learn from my failures(if any). Love to hear everyone's opinions and tips, you do not have to agree with me. Remember sharing is how we improve.
Hi buddy..i bought oramge jasmine.. when i bought there were 2-3 flowers and lots of red colour fruits and many buds (or may be remaining of flowers) ...i was not sure..i removed all the small buds thinking they have flowered, because in every small small buds there were many red fruits....did i do wrong? Will there be bloom again? I am really sad. ..
The flower buds tend to be very small like pencil tip size. Anything bigger than that like is the fruit. The fruit/seed size generally be around small tv button and have color range from green to orange to red. Is normal to see multiple blooms crisscrossed into each other. You are fine nothing is wrong except you get little less flowering for now.
Hi i m in Germany...and winter can have snow fall as well..i do have 2 big night Jasmin in pot. Can i transfer them to my big garden? Will my Jasmin survive after the frosty winter?? pléase tell me
If I have choice I be moving a cutting from this one late summer to grow in a pot. The benefits of planting it in ground outside are follow: the plant will die back to ground every winter which saves you the pruning and control its growth, since this plant flowering requirements are not picky it will flower regardless, and finally the sap and berry from this plant are poisonous/skin irritant(keep it out door winter). Lastly: this plant grows fast so recovers fast too. I am pretty sure by mid july I will see at least 10 branches.
Indoor near windows, most cold zones have basement and if your basement has windows is even better. Note: during winter it will drops most of its leaves which is normal.
hi i just bought my orange jasmine (first time planter) - i observe the flowe and fruit looks the same. so i'm sure it's the same plant. i brought mine and notice it isn't flowering much, currently i moved it outdoor from indoor. is the plant hardy
Hi, I got 2 -kaori hime and Fudingzhu. I live north of dallas. Should I keep them in a pot or in put them in ground ? I have one in plastic and one in terracota. I learn so much from your channel.
Thanks for watching, I got all mine in the ground now and first winter kills few branches and drop most of their leaves; however, as of now they made full recovery. If you want to be on the safe side, plant one in ground and do a propagation just incase. Main thing for sweet olive is as long as the cold does not last long they be fine and Kaori Hime is supposed to be more cold tolerant than my cultivars. Note: if you want to plant it in ground please dig holes bigger and good compost or use good mixes. Texas clay soil everywhere. Hood luck!
Very early days in doing video and copy off one of youtubers doing reviews on Watches. He always show hands while doing explanations. Anyway, long story short, I did not like much so shifted to showing plants more and if I have a helper, I be in the video too.
My new orange jasmine isn't blooming. I got it as a tall plant with some leaves. It's been only growing leaves since it started warming up. What do you suggest I do to get it to bloom?
Give it plenty of sun, full sun preferably, if you want you can ‘poke’ it to encourage bloom by using bloom booster. Any fertilizer with the mid number high is bloom booster. I used jakes bloom booster.
Hiya, My plant started having white spots on its leaves, it's not powdery mildew. Do you have an email address that I can share some photos with you and hopefully you can help. I really appreciate your help
Hi Alex. Hope you have another night jasmine inside house. That guy outside looks kinda gone. I find the jasmine though easily propagated also drops out easily too. Always advisable to have a couple shoots sprouting indoors.
That is another mistake I made: forgot to take a cutting or two as backup. I be up in kansas next week and one of my friends still have this I can get a cutting from. Lol. But I still hoping current one is not gone yet.
@@ninelinks3443 gosh that was a nice plant. Got my guy in nyc Chinatown around end of summer after much searching three years ago. But inadequate weather conditions made keeping little guy alive a trying experience and also never had success in the past. Successful propagation of younglings is a step in the right direction and hopefully to better experiences.
we are in texas as wella nd during winter, plant lost all its leaves and now the new growth isnt good and they are all browning and falling/drying off. can you please suggest how I can help them grow ?
Without seeing a picture hard to tell if rot or not. But if overall plant is healthy , then put it out side let it get some sun and don’t overwater. Give it a week or so see if any new shoots come out. Good luck.
Hi Alex. Thanks for heads up on fertilizing. My night jasmine is problematic with yellowing leaves and remembered you mentioning them being heavy feeders. Used your method to propagation with cutting and using rootone quite successfully but hard part is maintaining growth to a vigorous plant. Especially when needing to bring indoors during winter months. Many thanks to your many insights.
Good to hear. Yeah night blooming jasmine is scared of cold. Besides fertilizer, it loves full sun and lot of water. Mine is in ground as experimental for texas zone. I am hoping it survived the winter, going to wait few more months to see if it grows.
Hi Alex. A couple years ago got my perfume tree from Logee’s, an online dealer. They’re on RU-vid also. First couple months it dropped a lot of leaves before acclimating to being left indoors. Know it wasn’t 200 dollars and nice size too. Little guy is still alive and btw repotted last year doing well. I use strips of microfiber cloth on a double pot self watering system in 2.5 gallon buckets from Home Depot.
I’m from TEXAS too… Are they climbers? Do I need to train them in trellis? When to fertilize them after buying it from the nursery? Full sun or partial sun? Will it attract bugs and rodents?
Not a climber, no need to train but prune to keep it in shape and encourage flowering. Nursery usually puts fertilizer in the pot already so fertilize later. Full or partial be fine. Only bugs I see: spiders, cucumber beetles.
Yes you can use duke as well. Duke just a bigger flower version of Maid of New Orleans. I think there is another cultivar of same as this forgot the name.
I have 2 lemon trees and one of them I had been putting in the rice water for a long time. So far i didn't see any difference, so surely it doesn't hurt but for my experience neither do anything good
Lemon tree does take a lot of nutrients/fertilizer and rice water provides very small amount but more for beneficial microbes. I usually use rice water for early spring watering to get the microbes up and provide light fertilizer to the plants that coming out of the dormancy. You are correct in term of how dramatic the effects of rice water: very minimal.
I use rice flour mixed in water or use water hose to dissolve while watering the plants. It is doing great to my citrus trees, ficus tree, jasmine plants etc
Hi, I’ve watched all your white champaca videos! Thank you for tips. I need your help please. I have a white champaca it’s 12 inches tall. Very small. Unfortunately, it dried up. I was able to save it and it grew few leaves. However, as time passes, the leaves are turning brown and dying. The stem is green but slowing turning brown from the top. It’s too cold outside so it’s inside. can you help me? Maybe I can share you some pics if you give me email. 🙏🏻 thank u
Email: whiteChampacaAlba@gmail.com Without the pictures but from what you just typed: some died due to dry air (house heat) or overwatering. Once I see pics will help more.
I have one in greenhouse and temp dropped around 22F and still doing well. So from my experience, 22F be a safe limit not to go any further below that.
Yes, I initially thought that not cutting it this year and just do another airlayer on multiple branches. Then again this plant has been pot bounded for a while now, so went for cuttings. Air layering has very high chance of success.
Hi Alex hope you’re doing well. Thanks for all your content you’ve been posting very informative. Want to ask if you’ve ever seen growth on the night jasmine looking like a miniature pearl after flowering. All the best to you and family.
thanks for asking, I am doing well. Cestrum Nocturnum aka Night Blooming Jasmine's fruit is White if that is what you mean by pearl? BTW night blooming jasmine fruit is poisonous.
Oak nuts. LOL! Welcome to Texas. Looks like you have a big empty space to work with now. It's a struggle to garden in Texas but it can we done. Just have to work with mother nature. That and shade cloth for summers and container gardening for the winters.
