How to Choose a Potted Jasmine? A Buying Guide for Beginner Gardeners

Most jasmine plants on the market come without pots, their roots wrapped in a ball of soil enclosed in plastic sheeting.

Such jasmine plants are repotted at the flower market. They are sold straight away without waiting for the root system to recover.

Beginner gardeners should try not to buy jasmine like this, because it does not easily resume growth and very easily dies.

If the soil surface is very fresh, it shows that the plant was just repotted and the roots have not recovered.

If there is moss on the soil surface, it shows that the plant has been in the pot for at least fifteen days, and it can be bought.

If weeds have grown on the soil surface, you can buy it with confidence.

For beginners growing flowers, buying jasmine like this guarantees worry-free care afterwards.
