When is the best time to repot for jasmine (how to care for jasmine after repotting)

When is the best time to repot for jasmine in spring?

There is no specific time to repot for winter jasmine in spring , but you should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Generally , you must wait until the forsythia has finished blooming before repotting in spring . Repotting with flower buds will affect flowering, prolong the acclimatization period, and even risk death.

(2) Pruning should be done after the flowering period to reduce nutrient consumption and promote the growth of lateral buds. Prune branches in time after the flowers have bloomed.

(3) Fertilization can be carried out about 3 to 5 days after pruning. At this time, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be concentrated, and organic fertilizers should be used mainly. At the same time, rooting and sprouting can be promoted. Repotting should be carried out about 20 days after fertilization.

(4) After the new buds emerge, change the pot and soil when the buds are in a "bag" but have not yet opened . You can change the pot when the first leaf of the bud opens. If you wait too long, the new buds will consume too much nutrients, which is not conducive to changing the pot and growing buds.

(5) Repotting cannot be done based on the solar term alone, but should be done when the temperature is slightly above 18 degrees Celsius . If the temperature is too low, the buds will grow more slowly after repotting. It is best to repot when the temperature is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius.

How to repot for jasmine

① Root pruning

The taproot of forsythia grows slowly, but it has many fibrous roots, which can easily cause the roots to be torn and broken when repotting .

Therefore, when repotting, flush the roots directly with water to expose all the roots. Then straighten the roots and trim the roots around the pot and the roots that are too long. If there are strong straight roots, cut them off at the bottom.

②Growing soil

The soil for planting forsythia mainly uses a mixed soil that is lightly fertile, loose, breathable, and well-drained.

Generally, 5 parts of red jade soil, 2 parts of freshwater river sand, and 2 parts of humus soil are used. A mixed soil containing organic fertilizer is used at the bottom, and sheep dung balls + perlite + freshwater river sand are mixed and buried at the bottom.

③Maintain the maintenance environment for repotting

After the forsythia has been repotted, it must first be acclimatized and placed in a well-ventilated location with bright light.

Generally, when new buds emerge and leaves open, the plant is placed in a location with diffuse light, and the light is gradually transferred to allow photosynthesis to occur. After about 25 days of maintenance, the plant can be transferred to a location with sufficient sunlight.

④Watering and maintenance

During the period of repotting and maintenance, the planting material should be watered in a way that "does not dry out, but water thoroughly when it is", and the main trunk of the jasmine can be wetted by spraying 2 to 3 times a day to increase the surrounding air humidity and moisturize the main trunk.

After about a month of maintenance, you can start daily watering , and slightly control the moisture of the soil, keeping it dry to avoid causing the branches to grow too long.
