Should I use a large or small pot for jasmine?

When caring for jasmine, the specific size of the root plant is needed to decide whether to use a small or large pot. Generally, jasmine in the seedling stage can be cared for in a small pot, while old jasmine needs to be cared for in a large pot.

Growth environment: Jasmine likes to grow in warm places. The best temperature for growth is around 20 degrees. When the temperature of the environment is too low, the growth of the plant will be affected and the plant will enter a dormant period.

Repotting time: Jasmine usually needs to be repotted once a year. The specific time for repotting is not fixed. Usually, the pot can be repotted as long as the environment is suitable, but the best time to repot is around March or April in spring.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for jasmine?

It is more suitable to use shallow pots to care for jasmine, because jasmine is more sensitive to water during its growth period. Deep pots will easily cause water accumulation, which will cause the roots of jasmine to be suffocated.

Jasmine likes a humid environment, but is afraid of waterlogging, so when planting it is more suitable to use clay pots or ceramic pots with good drainage and air permeability, which is also beneficial to the growth of jasmine.

How to repot jasmine

1. Separation of pot and soil

Slowly knock or pat the jasmine pot a few times, or use a small shovel to move it around the edge of the pot, then remove the pot and clean the soil.

2. Repotting

After removing the jasmine from the pot, the old and bad roots need to be trimmed before replanting. After planting, water it once more and then place it in a cool place for maintenance.
