For the jasmine plant to bloom, the soil must contain certain nutrients. It is best to grow jasmine plants in soils with a pH ranging anywhere between 5.5-7.0. However, if the pH falls then the plant won’t bloom fully, or partially. Let’s look at how we can fix this issue.

Three Ingredients for Soil Fertility
To make the soil more fertile, you can add a glass of sour buttermilk, a teaspoon of lime powder and half a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Simply dig into the soil and add these three ingredients. Cover with a thin layer of soil and add a sprinkling of water.
Adding too much water to the jasmine plant will cause the nutrients in the soil to wash away. The roots of the jasmine plant are very vulnerable and can rot due to too much watering. This will weaken the stem of the plant. To avoid this issue, slowly add water to the plant only when the soil at the bottom of the plant is dry. Adding a small amount of sand to the soil will help.

Phosphorus is essential to create new buds and strengthen roots. Ensure you have these nutrients in the soil. Organic fertilisers can be bought on the market today.
