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

Ordered two plants from this seller. Plant arrived 3 days after I placed the order. Even though I ordered the 4", the plants are bigger than 4" size and look strong. Already have 1 flower bud. Quite happy with my order. However, what made me want to write a review of the order/seller is the arrival of my other 4 Jasmine plants that I ordered from another site/another seller. I have ordered 6 jasmine plants in total, 2 from this seller, 4 (2 Jasminum Sambac ~Single~, 2 Bridal Flower Stephanotis Madagascar Jasmine - 4'' Pot) from another seller. I placed the order at the same time. I received the shipment from this seller 3 days later, and received my other 4 plants 5 days after I received the first two plants. Both seller used the same sized box for shipment, but one is for 2 plants, one is for 4 plants. It is very obvious and self-explained that the first 2 arrivals are fresh, big, and strong out of box, while the other 4 are tiny in size, bent, and not fresh. No branch was broken in either of the 6 plants. but the stems of later 4 are slanted. How the 6 plants will grow in the future is unknown yet, but comparing just the shipment days and plants' arrival appearance, I would like to give 5 stars to this seller. Job well done. Thanks!

I was very excited to have this plant to fill my studio with an amazing scent and to use to make tea. When I first got this in the mail I was worried by how sickly it looked (also in same delivery had a night blooming Jasmine that never flowered and dead as well) but after reading reviews realized that this is perhaps the way it supposed to be at the beginning. I took good care of the plant, put it on my windowsill And waited painfully long to see it develop. It only had the one branch but at least it had green leaves. A about a month I saw a 3 little little nubs. Eventually one of the three opened up and I cannot describe how amazing the smell was! The best way I can describe it is if you were to make a jasmine candy, that would be the smell the flower gave off but only lasted a couple days and fell off. eventually the other two bloomed and did the same thing. After this I never saw any more nubs. I just figured to continue staying patient but just kept looking worse and worse and eventually yellowed out and died. I really want to get this plant again and watch it thrive because anybody can agree that when this thing blooms it’s heavenly. I thought since getting this online is not a good idea I tried to go to a local nursery to get a more developed plant and all they had was a pink jasmine. when it bloomed it did smell like Jasmine but didn’t really like the smell because it did not come close whatsoever to this Arabian one. I’d say the pink Jasmine smell probably would’ve smelled good outdoors but I didn’t really smell that great indoors. Having said all that I really want to give an Arabian jasmine plant Another shot but afraid getting it from this seller or online in general is a bad idea unless I order a more developed plant.

It arrived very well packaged with an excellent care instructions. My plant arrived healthy and well hydrated with no signs of disease or distress. I’ve kept it indoors so it can adjust and it is thriving and doing extremely well right now (see photo). How well it does from this point on, would be all on me and not the seller. I’m extremely happy with my order and with the seller.

When I received this plant, it was in a horrible state. The leaves practically fell out. I thought I was going to lose it. After arriving, I transplanted it into a pot and used nutrient-rich soil. And to help it survive, I placed it at the bay window where it will get enough sunlight, heat, and protection. With a good dose of TLC, it is thriving and produced 5 beautiful flowers. Right now, the plant is at least 3 1/2 inches tall. I gave this a 3-star rating because of the state it arrived in (I wish I took a picture of it to see the difference).

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).
