Well, As per my thread yesterday, I dug up the little jasmines to find they had more roots than expected! Win.
Put them in some nursery type pots with quality potting mix and gave them a good water with a VERY weak dose of Miracle Gro.
They obviously have a long way to go, but I really like jasmine, so I'm prepared to wait =)
Here's the pics!!

good plants. you should wire the trunk to get some movement then it will be even better

Yeah, the trunks will probably get some movement soon, jsut going to give them time to recover first

if they got a decent root ball that you havent cut into to much they chould be sweet mate.

hit them with seasol aswell this will help with the root system

Might have to dop in to Bunnings and pick up some Seasol.
I'll have to work out what to do. I'd like to make one a semi-cascade....

Well these trunks are thin and very flexible. You can wire and shape them to basically any style now. the trick is try to thicken the base of the plant so ...water and feed them well. I also love jasmine a lot. I just dug a few Arabian tea jasmine plants and poted one of them yesterday. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2394 . All the best with your plants.

I wired these up today to get some movement.

nice mate, the initial wiring will help big time in the overall outcome, to wire a tree young and get its shape started will help heaps

My thoughts exactly!
On that note, I may have just had a change of heart.... The one currently looking to head to a semi cascade... I might point it towards a full cascade, and in a few years when it becomes a tad more mature, i will go nicely in the spare shohin cascade pot I've got.... The white flowers it will eventually have will go well with the greenish pot....
Hmmmm
