Worth knowing
A larger pot gives you a more established starting plant — not an instant hedge. Final density depends on spacing, the nursery batch and care in the first season.

What to look out for
The most common issues we see on Star Jasmine hedges around Sydney — how to spot them early, and what to do about them.
Scale insects
Signs: Small brown oval bumps along stems, with sticky honeydew and ants attending the plant.
Remedy: Apply horticultural oil to smother the scale and repeat after three weeks to catch the next crawler stage.
Sooty mould
Signs: Black dusty film on the leaf surface, usually following scale or aphid honeydew.
Remedy: Treat the sap-sucking pest first, then wash foliage with a soapy water solution; the mould clears as new growth comes through.
