When is the best time to prune jasmine in spring?

Jasmine flowers should be pruned before they sprout in spring . If we talk about the specific time, it is roughly around Qingming Festival . At this time, the temperature has stabilized and the jasmine flowers are about to sprout. The pruning effect at this time is best.

Due to the large difference in latitude between north and south of China, the southern region can start a few days earlier, and the northern region can also be appropriately postponed depending on the situation .

How to prune jasmine branches in spring

When pruning jasmine, we should first prune off the dense branches, crossed branches, and diseased branches .

After pruning in this way, you can shorten branches that are too long, cut off dense branches, crossed branches, diseased branches, weak branches, etc., and shorten branches that are too long.

This pruning can reduce useless nutrient consumption and improve light, allowing jasmine to focus its main energy on sprouting new branches.

Generally, jasmine flowers mainly bloom on new branches. If the quality of new branches improves, the quality of flowering will naturally improve as well .

Moreover, after pruning the jasmine during the Spring Festival, when new main branches sprout, they cannot be left to grow. They must be topped when the new branches grow to about ten centimeters.

Generally, pinching can promote the thickness of the main trunk and can also help jasmine to develop side branches , making the plant shape more rounded and the flowers more numerous and more beautiful.

Things to note when pruning jasmine in spring

①Disinfection

Before we prune jasmine, we can disinfect the scissors . After pruning, we can use medicine to disinfect the wound. Before the wound is completely healed, we must avoid getting the wound wet.

②Maintain in a warm and sunny location

After pruning the branches, be sure to place the jasmine in a well-lit and warm place so that the jasmine will sprout new buds faster and grow more vigorously.

③ Fertilization

Of course, after pruning jasmine, you should also pay attention to fertilizing. A reminder is that fertilization should not be done too early, and should be done after the temperature rises to above fifteen or sixteen degrees.

Only at this time will the root system of jasmine be active and able to absorb nutrients better. If fertilization is applied too early, the root system will not be active and will not be able to absorb nutrients, which will damage the roots.

When applying fertilizer, we can use some decomposed organic fertilizer , which can improve the soil, improve the appearance of jasmine, and greatly improve the quality of flowering.
