Hirt's GardensHirt's Arabian Tea Jasmine Plant - Maid of Orleans - 4" pot - Live Plant

Update: It’s blooming! Right now it has 20 buds. Kitchen smells amazing. Has been watering everyday with Jasmine Fertilizer (Brand perfect Plants, 8 oz, 9-3-6, mixed 1 tbsp in one gallon of filtered water). Does have spider mites problem though, especially under new leaves. Didn’t buy any spray yet, I put the pot in the Sink, gently brushed away the tiny eggs underneath the leaves with a small soft toothbrush and then rinsed with the faucet, careful to let the water drip outside the pot. It took some patience and time. I’ll have to wait and see how this works. Even with this problem, I am still happy with the blooms.———Very happy today since it bloomed after I bought it one month ago! The scent is very intense but refreshing, not heady at all, and from just one flower! Just how I remembered when I was little. Important note: The seller was Hirt’s Garden. It arrived well packaged in a 4 inch pot in bubble wrap. I was pleased with the size of the plant and the healthy roots. I transplanted it immediately to an 8 inch pot and the size fit perfectly. It arrived with a couple of buds but they soon dried and dropped after a few days, so I was worried and waited till now for the review. You can see that there are new growth now. After researching, I am 1. Keeping it near a sunny window. It loves sun. 2. Keep it in a warm spot 3. Water once a week now in winter. Wait till completely dry and then water thoroughly till water run out to the saucer, drain the saucer. It doesn’t like too dry, nor too wet, let dry between watering. In summer, might need to water everyday and even misting the leaves. 4. Loves acidic soil. I haven’t done anything yet except using a potting soil with compost. To encourage flowering instead of leafing, I might go buy some Phosphorus and Potassium Fertilizer。5. Aggressive pruning after flowering is supposed to encourage branching and budding and making a bushy plant. Hope this review is helpful to you!

So I could have spent 15 dollars more and just bought a 1 gallon plant. You can tell that this plant is a cutting. With the leaves being cut and it is just starting to produce another stem. There was a small flower on it. Which personally i want the plant to get bigger so i cut it off. The plant is in a four inch pot.the plant is about a inch and a half to an inch tall. And it made it here okay. I mean after it was "shipped", it was shipped on September 3rd from Phoenix, AZ. Which it got to Melrose Park, IL in two days. Which i was like amazing ill get it in a the next day. As i live in Green bay, WI. Nope i was completely wrong 7 days later Today September 12th it arrives. I am not sure why it got stuck in IL for 7 days.* Just be warned that if you want to spend $11 for 1 1/2 in plant you might as well just order from another company you can spend an additional $30 and get a 1 Gallon plant.*UPDATE - This company obviously doesn't understand that its misleading customers!! i have been back and forth with them and i also chatted with an amazon representative about it! obviously neither amazon nor this company cares about customer feedback! I have been trying to get the company to update the description and the picture of what they are getting! This was the response i got "We would like to inform you that we are selling live plants and their actual sizes and shape are not exactly the same as pictured."I can not EMPHASIZE enough DO NOT ORDER FROM 9GreenBox!! They are a sham and they are hard to work with!!!

Awesome plant, 18" tall and loaded with buds in a 4" pot. Received it last night and just repotted it. On sale as well. Very healthy plant. It's my first time ordering plants online and I'll do so again from this vendor. I wish I had more room for more of this plant. I've always grown jasmine as a houseplant. Keep it moist in a bright window or outdoors if in a warm climate and watch the magic!Update: it's been a few weeks now and the plant is loaded with new growth and buds. I cut back a few of the long stems and now I'll be having flowers in about 5 to 6 weeks from now. Incredible. I want to buy more of them. I do have a galaxy hydro grow light as supplemental lighting for my houseplants.8/31/17- I bought another one- but this one is puny; barely 6 inches tall. I was shocked. I had to combine both of them to make a larger pot because it's so small. I guess it's just hit or miss with these online vendors.

I ordered this exact same plant from this exact same seller several months ago. The first 3 pictures are the plant I received then....beautiful, healthy, good size. It proceeded to begin dying on me almost immediately, despite all of my efforts to keep it alive and thriving. I figured maybe it was me, since the plant was so obviously healthy and flourishing when I received it so I decided to try again recently. I purchased 2 more and the remaining pictures are the 2 I received today. HUGE difference...in size, in health, in color...I don't know why or if this is even the same type of jasmine but I am extremely disappointed this time around. I have reached out to the seller and will update my review when I receive a response AND if these 2 little guys take a turn, for better or for worse. As for now, all I can say is, it's a bit of a crap shoot. I've had 2 very different experiences so far.

It's been a bit over two weeks since I receive the plants. The Jasmine arrived in a well packed box. There were two small plants about 7 inches tall aboveground in a tiny pot. It would appear the plants were grown in small square growing trays and packed into a slight larger pot before shipment. There were no flowers buds and each plant had about 9-12 leaves. I transplanted them to a bigger pot right away.However, they did come with a full assortment of white flies and spider mites (check the underside of the leaves), a couple of the leaves also looked iron deficient in the beginning. I sprayed the leaves once a week with a insecticide/fungicide neem oil combo and fertilized the seedlings. Now they seem to be doing alright, one even grew some new leaves. Make sure you take care of the spider mites right away or it will spread to your other plants and kill them quickly.Update May 4, 2018: It has finally started to flower, the blooms are beautiful and fragrant (see photo).
