Jasmine Rebloom Regimen: Pruning, Dark Period & Cool Temps

Kathy's white jasmine (UK, covered SW porch) bloomed at purchase last year, hasn't rebloomed. Feeds weekly with Baby Bio. Asks when it will flower again.

Strict Rebloom Protocol

1. Bloom naturally in January.
2. After winter bloom: cut back 50%, pinch new growth for fullness until August.
3. Keep moist, fertilize regularly during growth.
4. August: stop pinching.
5. October (6-8 weeks): 10-12 hours total darkness + cool 40-50°F nights. Drier soil. Bright days.
6. After bud set: normal temps, sunny window. No winter fertilizer.
7. Summer: bloom-booster fertilizer.
8. Late winter/early spring: prune 50% again (flowers on new growth only).

Reality

Difficult regimen. Partial compliance helps but reduces bloom quantity. If impossible, plant stays healthy but blooms sparsely.
