I have a Lakeview Jasmine tree. I read a lot of info to try and understand how to best care for it. I know it needs fertilized regularly. I read it blooms much more if you do. Currently I get 1 or 2 flowers at a time. I have this in a large pot not in the ground. What brand and type of fertilizer will be best for this tree? Currently I have standard Miracle Grow fertilizer. (The kind you hook to you hose and water at the same time) I also have Miracle grows Bloom Booster fertilizer. Im not sure if either of these will be suitable. It has been repotted for about 3 weeks so I know it will be safe to fertizlize now. Its bee growing longer branches like crazy but no flowers. I also have some new Azalea bushes that are not blooming. All the buds dry up before it actually flowers. I added the bloom booster. Im not sure if thats enough to get them blooming.... any recomendtions on these bushes?? Thanks in advance! Carrie Tampa FL

No cure. If you want to keep your citrus healthy-BEWARE. (Couldn't verify the ban but it does host citrus greening disease ) http://www.butterfliesandwildlife.com/2010/03/19/lakeview-jasmine-vs-mock-orange-warning/ Now also listed as a catagory II invasive in South Florida.
