Change pot/soil and fertilize Arabian Jasmine (Maid of Orleans)

I just got it from the garden center. It is blooming, with a lot of buds. I'm not sure if I should change pot and add better soil for it now, or should I wait till it's done with this round of blooming?

Also, what kind of soil I should use for it? I found articles on the web saying I should use potting mix instead of general potting soil, is it true?

And what kind of fertilizer I should use for it? and in what percentage (X:X:X?)

Thanks for your help! :)

BTW...I love the scent of Jasmine...so much. Really hope I can make her happy so she can bloom all year long...:)

You should use something like Schultz Cactus Soil and add small size aquarium gravel to the mix as about 1/3 of it (just all mixed together). Any good house plant fert. 'for flowering plants', with a higher middle number than the other two would be o.k.
