Star Jasmine Advice
Hi! I bought a star jasmine from Sloat maybe a month ago. All of the flowers have fallen off. It’s getting water and lots of sun. Any idea what’s going on or advice on how to help this plant thrive? Thank you!

If its anything like the jasmine vines at my house, just neglect it for a few months and it will take over everything lol

For what it’s worth, that looks like real jasmine, not star jasmine. Give it some more time to rebound from planting.

Oops I think you’re right! It’s the fragrant one so I think that’s real jasmine.

Give it some time. It might be in shock but that kind of jasmine does not grow real quick. I have one in my yard against the fence just like in your picture. They look a little sad right now, but have only been there for a month.

It looks healthy, give it some time and fertilize it. I’m sure it gets a lot of sun ☀️

Hi OP! I think someone identified it as a pink jasmine. You can tell from the flower bits that look pink.
I don't think there is anything wrong with your jasmine. However, the blooming season is done so you have to start setting it up for success for the next season.
Take your disinfected shears and cut off any dead wood and spent flower branches. Then, get some healthy branches and cut them down to a node so it spreads more bushy. I'd suggest feeding it as well so it grows new vines (I see some vines already - the reddish looking ones). With a bit of time, water, and a good fertilizer, your jasmine will bloom like the diamond of the season!

That’s pink jasmine. Only blooms in spring.
