Jasmine pruning methods and steps

Length pruning: The length of jasmine pruning is relatively random. Because jasmine has a very strong growth ability, the length of branch pruning will not have much impact on the growth of jasmine.

Branch pruning: The main thing about jasmine branch pruning is to cut off the branches that have bloomed. For branches that have not completely withered, it is necessary to wait until the flowers have completely withered before pruning. This can promote the growth and development of the branches again and promote the subsequent blooming of flowers.

Precautions for pruning jasmine

Adequate light: After the jasmine has been drastically pruned, as long as we can provide the jasmine with sufficient light, it will soon grow new branches and buds. However, in this process, we also need to remove the buds of the jasmine and cut off all the branches and buds that do not grow well or are not conducive to the shape of the jasmine.

Topping treatment: In order to make jasmine grow better, it is necessary to top it. You only need to keep 1-2 pairs of leaves on the top of the jasmine. This can effectively prevent the jasmine from only growing in height but not blooming. After topping, the jasmine will produce more side buds.
