Getting Carolina Jasmine to Bloom and Fixing Brown Leaf Tips

Why It's Not Blooming

First-season potted Carolina jasmine in full sun isn't flowering. Jasmine needs full sun to set flower buds—shade early in the season may have delayed bud formation.

Brown Leaf Tips

Tip browning is likely transplant shock from repotting. The plant is redirecting energy to root establishment.

Action Plan

• Keep in full sun (6+ hours daily).
• Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to the pot.
• Water consistently—don't let the pot dry out completely.
• Ensure excellent drainage; jasmine hates soggy roots.

With time, sun, and steady care, the plant should bloom next season. Patience is key with young vines.
