Question 1

Why do I need to fertilize my Star jasmine?

Accepted Answer

Regardless of which kind of Star jasmine you own, regular fertilization will help you grow a plant that has great overall health. The proper supply of nutrients leads to more vigorous growth and can help your Star jasmine be more resilient to tough growing conditions while also gaining a better ability to fight off diseases and pests.

The foliage of your Star jasmine is one of its most attractive features, which is why you should do all you can to keep it intact. Again, this means creating and adhering to a regular fertilization schedule that is specific to your Star jasmine. Doing so will prompt your Star jasmine to develop leaves with a deep color and a lush overall look.

Question 2

When is the best time to fertilize my Star jasmine?

Accepted Answer

The first time that you should fertilize your Star jasmine is during the late winter or early spring. This type of fertilization gives your Star jasmine all the nutrients it needs to resume healthy growth once the weather gets warm enough.

It is also beneficial to many Star jasmine to provide an additional fertilizer feeding during early fall if you in a warm climate region. Fertilizing in early fall not only adds additional nutrients to the soil, which your Star jasmine will use in the following growing season, but it also helps your Star jasmine be a bit more hardy and capable of surviving the winter cold without experiencing foliage damage. Earlier fertilisation will ensure that the new branches have enough time to grow to withstand the cold winter.

Question 3

When should I avoid fertilizing my Star jasmine?

Accepted Answer

There are a few times during the year when you should not fertilize your Star jasmine. The first time occurs during the early and mid-winter months, during which time your Star jasmine will be dormant and in no need of feeding.

It is also unwise to fertilize this plant during the late spring and all of the summer. During that time of year, the weather will likely be hotter and can be much dryer as well. Both conditions make it more likely that your Star jasmine will have a very negative response to fertilization. To avoid such issues, stick to a fertilization schedule that involves feeding exclusively during early spring and early fall.

Question 4

What type of fertilizer does my Star jasmine need?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the most important nutrient for a Star jasmine is nitrogen, but that does not mean that phosphorus and potassium are unimportant. On the contrary, your Star jasmine likely needs a decent amount of all three main nutrients, which is why a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10, can work well.

However, a more nuanced ratio of nutrients often leads to optimal growth for a Star jasmine. Often, fertilizers that are a bit higher in nitrogen work a bit better. For example, a ratio of 10-6-4 can often work well. When fertilizing, you can use a granular fertilizer or a liquid-based one.

Question 5

What happens if I fertilize my Star jasmine too much?

Accepted Answer

Overfertilization is always a risk when you are feeding a Star jasmine. Overfertilization is especially likely if you feed this plant at the wrong time of year, feed it too often, or feed it without watering the soil first.

When overfertilization takes place, your Star jasmine may begin to develop brown leaves. Your Star jasmine can also show stunted growth in some cases. On the other hand, it is also possible that too much fertilizer can prompt your Star jasmine to rapidly produce too much new growth, much of which will be weak and prone to breaking. Weak new wood can also detract from the overall form and structure of your Star jasmine.
