HELP!!!
I have planted my Jasmine into the ground and used tree & shrub soil and mixed in loam soil.
The last week the leaves have really wilted and feel very soft.
I have even noticed the leaves haves started to lose colour.

Advice on how I can treat and save my lovely Jasmine would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

    Is it getting enough water?

    Help. I have raised figaro dahlias from seed,but have no greenhouse or cold frame. They are about 7in tall and seem ready to go out. As the weather is now cooler should I keep them in the house until it warms up again. Any advice please.

    Hi Dave
    the soil is moist and I have not watered for several days now as it has been raining on and off

    I'm not sure what nutrients 'tree and shrub soil' has in it but your plant may be missing some nutrients your plant needs.
    I agree with Dave that lack of water a while ago may well have caused the problem, but if you're sure the plant has not gone thirsty then you could give it a drench with seaweed extract which contains pretty much all the micro-nutrients that a plant needs.
    Remember that whatever you give your plant it will take a few weeks to show any results.
    They are fantastic plants but problems often occur due to lack of water.
    I give mine a good mulch in the spring then give them some liquid fertilizer or seaweed about once a month

    Hi @franlloydevans and welcome to the forum.
    Your dahlias would probably be ok being planted now. I was about to plant mine out yesterday, then it started raining..
    The weather is set to improve in a few days, so rather than give them a chill, I'd wait a few days

    Thank you Dave.
    I was thinking of adding more fertiliser to the soil, although unsure what form of fertiliser? Pellet or liquid?
    i have Grosure with seaweed liquid. Was not sure if I needed a specific fertiliser for Jasmines.
    what sort of mulch?
    Do I top layer mulch or work into soil?
    thank you for your response x

    The problem with applying various fertilizers is that some can cancel out the others and may end up either causing a deficiency or over fertilizing.
    So it's best to keep it simple.
    Soil contains most of what your plant needs, but sometimes there's not enough of 'something'.
    I use seaweed extract because it's mild and contains just about all the essential MICRO-nutrients that plants need, so if 'something' is missing, the seaweed will supply it.
    But it is not a complete fertilizer, it is a very good tonic.
    The mulch I use around them in Spring is just home made compost. You could use rotted manure of some kind if you have no compost.
    Then I give them some general liquid fertilizer probably about once a month during spring and summer, just to ensure they're not missing anything.
    Watering is very important as they are very thirsty in warm weather and if they dry out they often get an infestation of scale insects.
    Good Luck
