Can all the leaves of jasmine be cut off in winter (Precautions for caring for jasmine in winter)

The leaves of jasmine cannot be cut off in winter because the plant needs to photosynthesize through the leaves. Let's talk about what else we need to pay attention to when caring for jasmine in winter?

First, pruning

Jasmine is very sensitive to temperature. When the temperature drops in winter, the plant will gradually enter a dormant state and basically stop growing; when the temperature rises in summer, the plant will gradually enter a flowering state.

Whether it is a dormant period or a flowering period, photosynthesis needs to be carried out through the leaves in order to maintain the normal growth state of the plant.

How to prune?

One is to prune withered branches.

The second is to prune dense branches.

The third is to trim the dead flowers.

The fourth is to prune the overgrown branches.

Fifth, try to keep the main branches and the leaves on the branches.

Second, water control

Jasmine likes a moist growing environment, especially when it is growing and flowering. If you still keep the soil moist in winter, it will easily cause the soil to be too wet or waterlogged, which will eventually lead to root rot.

After the autumn flowering period is over, water control should be started immediately. Water control means extending the interval between watering and ensuring that the soil is thoroughly wet each time.

Third, stop fertilizing

Jasmine likes fertile soil environment, especially when it enters the growth and flowering period. If you still carry out fertilization and maintenance management in winter, it will destroy the natural dormancy of the plant, thereby reducing its cold resistance, and finally the plant will wither or die.

Therefore, it is recommended that after the flowering period ends in autumn, a maintenance with cake fertilizer and water should be carried out, and then all fertilization and maintenance should be stopped to ensure that the roots are in a balanced growth state. The best seasons for fertilization are spring and summer.

Fourth, keep warm

At the beginning, it was mentioned that jasmine likes a warm and comfortable growing environment. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will damage its vitality. If the temperature is below 6 degrees Celsius and there is no warm maintenance management, the plant will be frozen and cannot recover in severe cases.

In areas with lower temperatures, it is recommended to move it to a sunny location indoors for maintenance while ensuring good ventilation.

Fifth, illumination

Jasmine is a light-loving plant that avoids dark places, especially after winter. If it is not placed in a sunny place for maintenance, the plant's cold resistance will decrease, and it will wither and die in the long run.

Therefore, it is recommended to place it in a sunny location for maintenance in winter, so that its ability to resist cold can be improved through photosynthesis.
