This is so helpful, thank you! My partner and I just got a jasmine officinale in London last summer. Hoping maybe we'll see some flowers this year as there weren't any last year (too young apparently). We were worried over winter that it had died, but now it's bouncing back and putting out new growth. Some bits (stems) are dead especially towards the bottom that I think we should remove - it seems too late in the season now (April) to cut back one bud back beyond where the dead area is, as you do in your video, so we're just taking the pieces that fall off easily. Looking forward to doing a proper pruning this fall now!
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for watching and the message.
Jasmine are very tough plants so it won’t be too long before it’s growing like mad.
Just prune the obvious dead tips and leave the rest. I’m sure the base section will shoot away too.
Enjoy the flowers this summer 🌻
Thanks for the video! If pruning was not done in the fall and there is a lot of old dead leaves on the plant, should I remove them in spring or leave them to intermingle with the new growth until I can remediate after blooming? Also, if I cut a woody old cane that is growing in an odd direction, will it regrow so I can redirect it?
Hi Lauren.
Many thanks for watching and your questions.
This type of Jasmine is a deciduous and so its leaves will naturally die back and drop during the autumn and winter period.
Any truly dead material can be removed but leave all other growth until you can prune following flowering.
After flowering you can also remove some of the old woody, wayward, growth to redirect as required.
They are very resilient plants so will recover from most things.
All the best with your garden 🌸🌼
Thanks so much for your quick and thorough reply! @@diyhomeandgardening
@@laurenmathisen9063 no problem at all 🌻
Glad I found your video. I have a jasminum stephanense, a pink flowering one, in West Virginia, USA. Zone 6B. I’ve had mine I think four, going on five years. Had it in a place too shady at first then moved to an arbor we built. This winter I thought, holy cow I better prune that thing! It’s good to know I can do a bit of a hard prune. That will have to wait till next November but I’ll still take off a wee bit so it’s not as unruly.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching and your message.
Stephanense is a nice variety and colour albeit not scented. Good to know that it’s growing well. Just tie it up this year, ensuring that you form the frame you plan to keep.
Happy gardening 🌼
💚
Very informative and well explained in detail. Thank you.
Many thanks for watching and taking the time to message. Hope the video helped you.
Enjoy all the fragrant Jasmine flowers 🌸
Love this plant greetings from Costa Rica bel video
Many thanks for messaging so pleased you liked the video.
I always imagine the plants that you grow in Costa Rica to be totally different to us but obviously not always.
Keep enjoying your gardening 🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening J. officinale still a rare garden plant, a friend of mine from Italy with a beautyful medicinal garden who lives in Costa Rica gave me some cuttings and now I definitively feel so lucky for having a 4 meters long vine that recently lost its flowers. I've propagated it with cuttings and by layering method. I'm very impressed that the plant is doing so well between orchids ferns and Araceae plants...
Great channel Pura vida!
@@omarcastillo6259 lucky you to have a friend like that who gives such nice presents.
Maybe you should take more cuttings and sell the plants in Costa Rica
Thanks for watching and hope you continue to find useful videos here.
All the best 🌻

Hi very informative video I use to have 2 jasmine climbers one died in winter completely I need your advice how to keep my left jasmine safe in winter I live in london
Hi. Many thanks for watching and your message.
Do you know what variety of Jasmine the plants are that you have?
Most varieties are perfectly hardy in the U.K. and fine to stay outside throughout winter. However, there are a couple of varieties that are often mis sold for outside growing when really they are only suitable as a houseplant.
So long as your plant is either a Jasmine officinale, J . beesianum, J . nudiflorum or J . stephanense type then they are fine outside.
Most of the time the plants will die over winter not because of the cold but because their roots stay too wet.
I hope this helps you but please message me if you want more help. 🌸
Great video, thank you. We have a jasmine plant that was left to go wild for years at ground level. I lifted the lot onto a cheap weak trellis so now it's happier but there are approximately one million stems coming from the ground. Is it wise to cut back a bunch of these so there are fewer paths from the ground to the trellis?
@@PsychicTeeth hi Alex. Thanks for watching and the message.
Sorry for the delayed reply.
If you predominately have a lot of thin growth then yes I would suggest removing some of it so as to promote development of stronger stems.
It’s worth considering that having growth from lower down is useful for giving a better overall framework and screen cover so probably a balanced approach to cutting back would be my suggestion for the next couple of years, remove half a million stems and keep half😀
Hope the plant rewards you with plenty of flowers 🌻🪴
I live in Finland. Here we have long winter. Termparature goes to -25C. I bought this plant this year. Planted in pot. May I know does this plant servive in that weather conditions?
Hi. Many thanks for watching and for your message.
All I can say is that here in the U.K. Jasmine officinale survives. We are zone 8 / 8b so generally the coldest we have it in winter is minus 10 maybe a little colder if it’s a hard winter. The temperatures only tend to go that low for the odd day or two though, so nowhere near as cold as with you.
I guess you will just have to try for yourself and see.
Hopefully you can grow the Jasmine successfully. All the best 🌼
They dont like to be waterlogged and growing in a pot can cause that if there isn't sufficient drainage. I have mine in a pot, south facing and sheltered and its been fine. I try to protect it from the worst of the wet winter weather. Hope that helps.
This jasmine won't survive winters past UK, Germany or France, so it would most probably die in colder regions.
Jasmines are generally easy to grow in pots so you could bring the plant inside or take a cutting of it. I live up north too and keep my jasmines under a LED light.
They seem to grow fairly well as long as they get light and the soil is not too wet. I've mixed 1/3 perlite and 2/3 average potting soil for them to grow in.
Thank you for the video. I bought a house in Southern Spain with a big tangled mess of pink jasmine. The inside is full of dead leaves and dirt. The waterfall of growth at the top is a meter deep and two meters wide of very dense foliage and tons of blooms.
I want to train it up the side of the house. But the matted mess reminds me of a thousand strands of Christmas lights… all tangled together.
It’s mid April and the first bloom is just ending. My thought is to get the old trellis off of the wall so I can identify the viable shoots coming from the ground, train those onto a new cabling system and cut the bulk of the green away.
It should be able to handle that, no?
Hi Cara.
Many thanks for watching and for your message/question.
It sounds as though you have Jasminum Stephanense which is just as vigorous as the variety in this video, and can be pruned in exactly the same way.
I would do as you are probably thinking. Cut back the bulk of the plant to leave the main branches that you are going to use to develop as your future framework.
Try to work on one branch at a time to cut back the unwanted growth, laying the finished sections on the ground.
Once you have finished all the pruning then tie the Jasmine onto your new trelliswork or training wires.
I would try to tie some of the branches of the Jasmine onto the lower tracing wires/trellis in order that you can get good plant cover from base to top.
If you have any photos of the before and after then please feel free to share via my instagram page.
All the best and happy pruning 🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening thank you for your reply. I have my work cut out for me!
@@carainfrance
At least once you have done the framework you won't have to do that again, just the annual prune of the Jasmine.
Enjoy the Spring
Hello, It is spring here and I pruned my plant all the way to ground. We purchased and planted it last year and it grew and bloomed well. I pinched off dead flowers as it grew. My question is, did I make an unrecoverable mistake by pruning the stems from last spring/summer?
Hi.
You don’t say which country you are in.
Being such a young plant it wouldn’t have liked being pruned as hard as you have.
Are there any signs of fresh growth coming from the base?
I would always look to develop a good framework from the plants more mature stems and then prune back unwanted growth beyond that framework.
Try to maintain consistent moisture to the plant roots and hopefully the plant has enough strength to re grow.
I wouldn’t apply any fertiliser until you get some new shoots as you don’t want to shock the plant further.
Good luck 🤞🌸
@diyhomeandgardening , thank you so much. I'm in U.S. 7b zone.
@@kjpdjb warmer than here in the U.K. Your Jasmine will probably have more vigour because of the better climate.
All the best and hope you get plenty of flowers this year 🌸
Hi 👋
Firstly does Jasmin always need to be tied in ? Secondly do I need to prune every single stem ? My Jasmin is pretty big and quite tangly. I adore it but only this year have I started to feed it weekly and water it in this hot weather…. tbh the thought on pruning every stem is a bit daunting 😬
Your video was excellent, thank you 😊
Hi. Many thanks for watching the video and messaging.
This type of Jasmine does need tying in or at the least providing good support so that the plant can twine itself through the framework.
In terms of pruning, no you don’t need to prune all stems.
The plant in this video was so overgrown that it really needed a good cutting back. Normally you can just do controlled pruning so long as you can maintain the supporting framework.
Pruning will help to encourage more flowers the following year by promoting more new growth to develop.
Regular watering and feeding will definitely help to keep the plant healthy and more vigorous too.
Enjoy your gardening 🌸
Hi thank you for that ! For some reason the majority of flowers are at the bottom of the jasmine and I’m confused as to why…. My husband is on about cutting the top of the Jasmin where there is lots of growth but no flowers as he thinks this will rejuvenate the plant , and I’m not at all sure that’s the best action to take 😬 Bernadette
@@steveedwards2903
Hi Bernadette
Jasmine flower on 1 year old growth so the growth that develops this year will carry flowers next year.
So you can cut back the top to help train and rejuvenate the plant but don’t remove everything or you won’t have flowers over the top of the plant next year.
Hope that helps you but any more questions just shout me.
Have a great weekend 🌸
This is really helpful. I’m planning on buying this but strictly restricting it’s growth to a trellis. I’m in zone 8a in Texas and we do get a freeze or 2 every now and then. The last major one happened 2 years back and it killed most of my plants. Is this plant easy to train / restrict? The nursery I’m buying from say that this can be kept as small as 3’ plant in a container with hard pruning.
Hi. Thanks for watching and your message.
Jasmine is a tough climber so will happily tolerate the odd winter freeze, so long as it’s not prolonged at below minus 10 ish degrees.
You will be able to keep the climber trained against trellis work but as Jasmine officinale is quite a vigorous climber I don’t think you will be able to keep it as small as the plant nursery says. This variety will put on 3-4feet of growth in one year.
Have a look at Trachelospermum jasminoides as that looks and smells the same but is evergreen and slower growing. It is also hardy in your climate zone.
All the best with your gardening 🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening thank you so much for your detailed response!
@clickityclick5237 no problem 🌸
Hi my uncle cut my jasmine all the way to the bottom will it regrow and how can I plant some of the cuttings very upset cause it's a memory from my late mum. Very disappointed by the outcome. Please tell me what to do I'm from Sydney Australia.
Hi. Many thanks for messaging.
Jasmine is generally a very tough plant and so even from being cut back very hard it should re grow.
Make sure to keep the plant watered to encourage it to re grow.
You may be able to see buds to the base of the plant.
If the plant still has some visible shoots then you can use your thumb nail to gently scrap the bark. If it is showing green below the bark then the plant is still alive.
If the cut off pieces are still in good condition and not wilted then you should be able to get some pieces to root.
Cut the stems just below a leaf joint, removing the attached leaves.
Remove a portion of top growth of same stem to leave you with a stick that is about 6-8 inches in length.
If you have rooting powder then dip the base of cuttings into that and insert them into moist compost/soil and ensure they don’t dry out.
You can also do the same method but place the cuttings into water.
I have done lots of videos on my channel that you can watch to see the method for taking cuttings if you’re not quite sure.
Hopefully your main plant will regrow and you can enjoy the flower scent and memories.
All the best 🌸🌼
Hello, thanks for the very informative video!! I have a small potted jasmine, and I'm not very knowledgeable with plants and so I naively snipped out (with my hands not a scissors, so broke off basically) the places where the buds had dried up and fallen and now all those places are flower-less and it hasn't flowered since, I'm very worried that I might've killed my plant so is there any way to revive it?
Hi Nikita.
Many thanks for the message, and watching the video.
Do you know which variety of Jasmine you have?
Also, what size pot is it in?
The fact that the buds have dried up is a signal that the plant has dried out within the pot.
So long as you get the watering correct the plant should begin to produce fresh growth once more.
Jasmine flowers on new growth and also needs to be in a sunny / bright location.
You can also give the plant a feed with something like a tomato plant feed that is higher in potash, to also encourage flowers to form.
I hope this helps you 🌸🌼
@@diyhomeandgardening thanks for the reply!! I did some research and I think I might have a Jasminum sambac or Arabian Jasmine I think... It's a small pot, about 20cm across and around, and being a novice I think I underwatered it severely as a lot of leaves and branches are drying out (I wish I could send a photo!!) 😅 So do I just prune the dried-up stems? Also the plant receives tons of sunlight, I might be not watering it correctly for the amount of light it receives :P... So definitely I'll try my best to keep it hydrated and I'll do try the fertilizer approach too, thanks so much!
@@Shika_ Do you have an Instagram account. If so you can look me up there, under the same name, to send a picture of the plant. Hopefully help a bit more from that.
If not then it almost certainly sounds like it’s a lack of watering. Ideally water in the morning. If the water runs straight out of the pot then it signifies that the compost is too dry and has shrunk away from the sides of the pot.
To effectively re-wet the compost, water a small amount to the centre of the pot and allow that to soak in before you apply more water.
In containers you need to check and / or water on a daily basis. 🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening hey, I reached out on Instagram.. you have been a massive help, thankyou so much!!
Hi, thank you so much for your video! I have this type of jasmine and it has gone really unruly as I stupidly didn’t prune it back for several years. Am I able to cut into the old woody bits or just the green stems? Ideally I’d like to cut it back beyond the green but don’t want to damage it. Thanks in advance for your advice on this!
Hi Naomi.
Many thanks for watching and your question.
Basically the answer is yes you can really cut back this type of Jasmine hard, going back into older growth. You can see in the video how much I removed and the plant started to regrow even in the limited amount of warm weather we had in autumn.
If you are based in the U.K. you will need to wait until next year to prune as the temperatures are too low, with risk of disease greater than in warm growing conditions.
All the best and have a good new year 🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it
@@naomisklar1336 no problem at all. 🌸🌼
My jasmine is really over grown, can i use a hedge trimmer go get rid of the bulk of it and then prune it? Or is that too much for the plant?
Hi Amy.
Many thanks for watching and the question.
Whatever works for you, using tools available, is probably the simplest answer.
However, that being said, what you do need to do when pruning is to make sure that the cut is made with clean tools, to prevent disease, and that the cuts are made just above the leaf joints.
If you don’t cut close to the leaf joints the. You will get stem die back of that stem until the leaf joint intersection.
For me, I do prefer to use hand held secateurs as it gives you the chance to closely check the condition of the plant and make adjustments to pruning if so required.
General rule is not to remove more than a third by volume of a plant but most climbers tend to benefit from a harder prune.
Hope this helps you. 🌸
Hello again, how large should a plant be before planting in the ground?
Hi.
So long as the plant has a healthy root zone then it will be fine to plant out.
I would say minimum of a 9cm pot size.
When planting dig a hole ideally twice the depth and width of the pot and mix some fresh compost to the existing soil.
Hope that helps as a bit of a guide 🌸
@diyhomeandgardening , this is the description from retailer...
Small plant: Medium root ball, 2 or more braches, 12 inch long vines
@@kjpdjb not the best description but it should be fine so long as the roots have formed.
See what it’s like when it arrives.
I’m also on instagram, under the same name, so you can always send me a pic of the plant once it arrives.
Hello. The is the best jasmine plant in the world but Why is it so rare in landscapes and almost impossible to find in stores and online? In usa
Hi Gabriel.
Thanks for watching and the message.
Yeah it’s a great variety. Here in the U.K. it is very widely available from garden centres but not used much anymore in landscaping. I think its lack of use is probably because it is so vigorous.
Enjoy your plant and gardening 🪴
Hindi version
Hi. Thanks for watching.
Hindi jasmine is called Jasmine Sambac and grows more as a vigorous woody shrub than a climber.
You can still treat it the same way but it’s no where near as hardy as the variety in this video.
All the best 🪴
