Hello Everyone I have a beautiful Jasmine it is on a hoop. All the instructions say is keep it moist which I do. My question is how do I remove the dead flowers without damaging the plant? Its shooting lots of green leaves and I am twining them around the hoop I hope I am doing the right thing. Thanks Love TT xxxx

I stuck mine outside the back door - it survived and thrived.

I stuck mine outside the back door - it survived and thrived. And what about the plant?

Hi Carl Thanks Carl for that but its not what I need to know! I need to know how to look after inside please. Love TT xxxx OK I can see you are going to be difficult Carry on twining and doing what you are doing as it clearly seems to enjoy it - ergo whatever it is you are doing you are doing it right. The one I had survived at home and then at work. The reason for moving it outside was the smell scent which I find somewhat cloying and overpowering. Don't know about removing flowers sorry. As for Jangler's sense of humour - she has to keep it as no one else wants it

Terri - a few suggestions for an indoor jasmine beyound the obvious light, water and feed things. I had one which I used to repot into a bigger pot in autumn every three years or so. At the same time I would unwind it, which is admittedly fiddly, and give it a bigger support to climb around. It finally outgrew the house, so it had to go outside, where unfortunately there was a harsh winter that killed it. However, that shouldn't be a problem in the deep south! When we lived in Australia we had one that twined around our front gate. It's scent was a lovely welcome for any visitors.
