Indoor jasmine…dying?

My indoor jasmine normally flowers round Christmas for a few weeks. This year it started in January…& is just finishing now..in JULY! I’ve noticed some die back in previous years….leaves dry out and fall. I cut these areas back and it has new growth, it’s all good! 
This year it seems to be excessive die back…..after the excessive flowering….& I’m getting concerned. There’s some new growth but not much. 
Everything is as before….place, temp, watering etc, nothing has changed. 
Any ideas?

    NB. THERE ARE 2 plants here. I have NO idea why they’re side on photos!!

    Okay. Clutching at straws here. When were they last repotted?

    Aaaaages ago. I read they liked to be quite pot bound. I’ve been feeding them well though! Was going to refresh the pot today but it’s hossing it down and the compost is up the garden!

    Loving a pot bound environment is one thing but I find that once the soil turns to dust and the roots take over, there is little point in pouring the Baby Bio in with the water. I think they are probably crying out for a slightly bigger pot and some new compost.....when it stops raining. Plants can romp away when they are given some new compost to play with.

    Cheers Ceres! Appreciate your help. I’ll get that compost when (if!!?) it stops raining!
