How to prune the yellow jasmine after it blooms

Pruning after flowering

Pruning time: Yellow jasmine only sprouts twice a year, in spring and summer, and stops growing during the sprouting period. Therefore, during the growing season, you should pay attention to cutting off dead branches, diseased branches and long branches in time. Only in this way can you control the growth and nutrition of the branches and improve the quality of flowering.

After the yellow jasmine blooms, trim off the overly dense and overlapping branches to increase the light transmittance of the yellow jasmine, while stimulating the growth of new branches, allowing the yellow jasmine to grow more evenly and maintain its beauty.

Pruning and flowering of yellow jasmine

Reasons for not flowering: The reason why the yellow jasmine does not bloom may be due to insufficient nutrients, insufficient light, or excessive watering leading to water accumulation.

How to make it bloom more: Fertilize the yellow jasmine from early spring. You can add some potassium dihydrogen phosphate and ferrous sulfate to improve the fertilizer. With plenty of sunlight, it is not difficult for it to bloom.

Flowering pruning method:

1. Thinning: Thinning refers to cutting off the denser parts of the yellow jasmine to increase its growth space, improve its ventilation and light transmission. This also includes cutting off the overlapping branches and weaker branches of the yellow jasmine, which is conducive to the differentiation of its flower buds and can bloom beautiful flowers.

2. Shortening: Cut the newly grown branches of the yellow jasmine short. The purpose of this is to increase the number of short branches in the yellow jasmine, making it look more beautiful, and to stimulate the remaining branches to sprout again, so that all parts of the yellow jasmine can grow evenly, laying a good foundation for the overall shaping of its rear part.

3. Remove the suckers: You may not have heard of this trick. The operation process is to cut the rhizome of the yellow jasmine into the ground at the root to protect the growth of its main branches.

4. Auxiliary pruning: Auxiliary pruning mainly refers to the use of methods such as shortening, pinching, and bud removal to prevent the branches of the yellow jasmine from growing too vigorously. Cutting off some of the excessive branches can make its growth more even and the overall tree shape will be more beautiful.

Maintenance methods of yellow jasmine after flowering

Temperature: The general temperature is controlled at around 15 degrees Celsius and not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

Watering: It needs to be watered according to the weather and season, and is not drought-tolerant.

Light: It likes light, has poor shade tolerance, and cannot tolerate strong light.

Fertilization: Watering is required during the fertilization process, and nutrients need to be replenished in time after the flowers bloom.
