Jasmine Bloom Cycle and Mildew Control: Detailed Regimen

Forcing Winter Bloom (January)

1. After winter bloom, cut back by half.
2. Pinch new growth for fullness until August.
3. Keep moist, fertilize regularly during growth.
4. August: stop pinching.
5. October: 6–8 weeks of cool nights (40–50°F), complete darkness at night, bright sun by day, slightly drier soil. Sets buds.
6. Then normal temps and sun.

Powdery Mildew Treatments

• Safer's sulfur spray (wear gloves—strong odor).
• Neem oil or horticultural oil.
• Keep foliage dry, humidity low.

Partial cool/dark period still helps if full regimen isn't feasible.
