How to prune jasmine to make it grow better and bloom

When pruning jasmine flowers, you need to trim off the dead flowers. Counting down from the dead flowers, 2-3 pairs of leaves also need to be trimmed off. The reason for trimming them is to reduce nutrient consumption.

How to prune jasmine

The best time to prune jasmine is after it has bloomed. It can also be pruned during the growing season in early spring and the dormant period in winter. Pruning at these times is conducive to its better growth.

Pruning jasmine is relatively simple. You just need to cut off some dense branches and older leaves. This will promote the growth of jasmine and the growth of new branches. Branches with diseases and insects also need to be cut off, but the pruned branches should not be thrown away. You can keep them for cuttings.

Jasmine pruning precautions

1. Fertilization:

After pruning the jasmine, directly add a compound fertilizer with a balanced content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to replenish all the nutrients consumed by the jasmine and promote the growth of new branches.

2. Watering:

Jasmine is a water-loving flower. Its leaves are thin and will wilt and turn yellow if it lacks water. Especially for jasmine grown outdoors, it must not lack water to prevent the leaves from being burned by the sun.

3. Lighting:

After pruning, make sure to get at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. Don't worry that the jasmine will be dried out or burnt. As long as there is enough water in the soil, you can expose it to the sun.
