Growth habits of winter jasmine

It is an evergreen shrub or small tree with beautiful tree posture, lush leaves, evergreen all year round, bright red flowers, green leaves, and beautiful leaf shape. It blooms in the winter when the snow is flying. When the flowers bloom, the petals are bright red and the center of the flower is tender yellow. The flowering period is as long as half a year. It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, adaptable, strong in resistance to adversity, and resistant to diseases and pests.

Winter resistant flower cultivation method

Soil: It is suitable to grow in loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil, or soil rich in organic matter can also be used to plant winter resistant flowers. Do not use leaf mold or peat soil for cultivation.

Light: It needs sufficient light. In spring and autumn, you can place the winter jasmine in a well-lit place indoors or grow it outdoors. However, in the summer when the sunlight is too strong, you need to provide shade to avoid burning the flowers and leaves due to strong light.

Watering: The humidity of the air must be ensured, but the amount and frequency of watering must also be controlled to avoid water accumulation in the pot due to excessive watering, which may cause root rot of the plant.

Fertilization: Pay attention to the use of fertilizers during the breeding process. It is best to use phosphorus fertilizers. The nutrients rich in phosphorus fertilizers are beneficial to the growth and development of winter resistant flowers.

Pruning: Pruning should be carried out regularly to cut off the dead and diseased branches of the winter jasmine to prevent these branches from absorbing nutrients from the mother plant. This can extend the flowering period of the winter jasmine and make the winter jasmine bloom more luxuriantly.

Precautions for winter resistant flower cultivation

Temperature control : When growing winter-resistant flowers, the temperature must be controlled. If the temperature is below 0℃, the plant's growth and development will be slow or even lead to the death of the plant.

Timely drainage : Also pay attention to timely drainage after rain, otherwise the roots will be soaked in water, causing the plant to lack oxygen and rot.
