Jasminum beesianum problems — and how to fix them
Jasminum beesianum (Jasminum beesianum) is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Few flowers
Usually too much shade or over-feeding with nitrogen; move to a sunnier spot and switch to a high-potash feed.
Powdery mildew
White coating on leaves in dry summers with poor airflow; keep roots moist, thin congested growth and improve ventilation.
Aphids on soft shoots
Greenfly cluster on new growth and flower buds, leaving sticky honeydew; rinse off or treat early.
Tangled, congested growth
Vigorous twining stems become a thicket if unpruned — thin and tidy after flowering to keep it manageable.
