AusBonsai

Hi all,

Long story short this plant has been struggling on the side of my house behind some ferns and such for years. With my recent interest in bonsai getting stronger and stronger I asked dad what It was and apparently it's from a plant that used to be grandmother's that she liked very much.
I never got to meet her but thought it be pretty awesome to find out about the flowers needs so it can eventually thrive


All I know is she had these in Greece and Australia, the plant pushes out white flowers (apparently) and is called fooli or fully plant in greek. Please see the photos...

'Fouli' I believe, check up on Jasminum Sambac.
That tends to be what they call Fouli, lovely white fragrant flowers too if it is one.

It looks healthy, if you want it to flower give it morning sun. They love water, in free draining mix. Mine flowers pretty much all year.
Cheers

Have placed it in a spot that will get morning sun now. Fingers crossed ... Do you think so? I thought the top looked healthy but the bottom upto the first leaves is long, thin, dry and woody. Worried that strong winds or something is enough to snap it.

Was thinking to put a brace in with it or replant it later with alot of the stem berries under ground so it's not as lanky.

Cheers every one

No worries Greggles!

The name Fouli rang a bell in the deep memory bank somewhere and I can picture the flower but had to google it to get Jasminum.

Coprosma / mirror bush if you ask me?
