Garden jasmine, or mock orange, was brought into the territory of Russia from the warm countries of the East. The bush is very popular due to its beautiful abundant flowering and rich aroma. The plant does not require special care, but if it is launched, it will cease to please with magnificent flowers. There are many reasons why indoor chubushnik does not bloom.
Incorrect landing or transplant
First of all, in order to understand why the mock nut grows poorly, you need to check whether the rules and conditions of landing are met. Jasmine does not like shade, if it is planted in a shaded place, it needs to be transplanted closer to sunlight. But it is important that the rays are not straight, burning. If the shrub does not have enough light, the shoots begin to stretch, and the bud does not form.
Chubushnik or jasmine is one of the main decorations of any garden
The problem, why mock-ups blooms poorly, arises when the plant is planted very deeply. Because of this, the development process is disrupted. In addition, soil quality plays an important role. Before planting, you need to fertilize the soil well.
Important! In order for jasmine to bloom annually, young shrubs need to be replanted every year. If the flower grows at home, then with each transplant the pot should be at least three centimeters larger in diameter than the previous one.
Proper planting of jasmine
Watering errors
Jasmine does not like very wet soil. If water accumulates in the place where the bush is planned to be planted, it is necessary to prepare the drainage first. To make it you need:
- crushed stone;
- pebbles;
- gravel.
All components must be laid out at the bottom of the pit, then fill up with soil on top.
The reason why the mock nut does not grow, may be a lack of moisture. A plant that lacks water begins to wither, then gradually dies.
Lack of light
Chubushnik will not bloom if he does not have enough light. If the plant is planted in the shade, to correct the situation, it needs to be transplanted to the sunny side. But it is important that the light be scattered. Direct sunlight is dangerous for shrubs.

Incorrect feeding
If a flower lacks nutrients, it will not form buds. Regular pruning, as well as the rapid growth of shrubs, leads to the fact that the plant requires a lot of minerals and vitamins. It is recommended to feed the plant three times a day:
- with the onset of spring;
- before flowering;
- as soon as the plant has flowered.
Superphosphates, wood ash and potash fertilizers are very useful for plants. Thanks to them, abundant flowering is observed in the shrub. Caution is required to use nitrogen fertilizers. They provoke a strong growth of greenery, but the number of inflorescences is reduced.
The folk method helps well. To feed the plant, you can prepare an infusion of nettles. The grass is poured with water and left in a dark place for 10 days. After the infusion is ready. it is bred with water and watered by bushes. First, superphosphate must be added to them.

Disease
Jasmine will not bloom if it is infected with any disease or attacked by a pest. It is easy to detect the disease on your own if you carefully examine the shrub. The first symptoms are immediately visible on the foliage and shoots. In the infected shrub, yellow spots appear on the leaves, they gradually curl and dry.
Attention!Fungal and viral diseases, for example, gray rot, negatively affect the state of the plant. For the treatment of shrubs, fungicides of complex effect are used.
In mid-July, light brown spots with a white border may form on the leaves of the plant. This sign indicates the infection of the plant with brown spotting. Damaged leaves must be collected and destroyed. And the plant itself can be treated with a Bordeaux mixture.
Pests
If the plant does not start budding, this indicates an attack of harmful insects, such as aphids, spider mites, weevils. You can get rid of them by treating jasmine with insecticides in spring and autumn. The most commonly used is karbofos. The tool does not affect the health of jasmine, but copes well with parasites. At the initial stages of infection, insects can be eliminated using folk remedies.
Attention!If the plant attacked the aphids, it begins to grow slowly, the leaves turn yellow, and small insects appear on the trunk.
When thrips attack, small dots appear on the leaves, which gradually form large spots. If parasites are found, the plant should be washed well in the shower, then sprayed not only the bush, but also the soil itself. To consolidate the result, spraying should be carried out several times.

Key resuscitation and prevention measures
It is necessary to pay attention that for which year the mock-up tree blooms depends on how it was planted. A plant will not bloom for a long time if it has been grown from seeds. Buds on such shrubs appear only in the seventh-eighth year of life.
