Jasmine blossoms are disappearing!!
I think something is eating my jasmine flowers and buds. I have it covered with most of the time but opened it up this morning so the bees could get it and when I came home from work almost all of the buds were GONE. And why do my flowers fall off so fast? Is that nature of the jasmine plant… new to this

@FeralFran This happened to me too…my jasmine had a ton of buds and I was so excited, but overnight they disappeared. I found out it was a mix of bugs eating them (mostly at night) and too much water sitting in the pot. Jasmine flowers don’t last long anyway, but when pests or root stress get involved, they drop even faster. If your pot doesn’t have drainage, that’s likely stressing the roots. I’d gently check the soil if it’s really wet, repot into something with holes. Also, go out at night with a flashlight and check for earwigs or beetles. I started spraying neem oil every few days and added some crushed eggshells and cinnamon around the base and it helped a lot! After that, my jasmine bloomed again and stayed happy. You’ve got this!
