What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Tiger Jasmine?

How to grow tiger jasmine

Tiger jasmine is a species of jasmine in the genus Jasmine of the family Oleaceae. It can be propagated by cuttings. It likes warm and humid environments and grows best in well-ventilated, semi-shaded environments. It is suitable for growing in slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus.

When growing tiger jasmine, it is best to place it on a balcony with good lighting so that it can be fully exposed to light. This can promote its healthy growth and vigorous flowering. However, in summer, shading measures need to be taken to avoid direct sunlight.

Watering method

Tiger jasmine needs to be watered in time during the growing period to meet the plant's demand for water. The temperature is hot in summer and water evaporates quickly, so it can be watered once a day. Water control should be started from late autumn to winter.

Fertilization method

Tiger jasmine can be fertilized once a month during the growing period. Fertilizer can generally be organic fertilizer or slow-release compound fertilizer. The concentration should not be too high. In addition to root fertilization, foliar fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves once a month.

Pruning methods

When the tiger jasmine grows 2-3 nodes, it can be topped, and the densely growing, overlapping, withered and diseased branches should be removed immediately. After the flowers have finished blooming, the remaining flowers need to be processed to avoid nutrient consumption.

Precautions for breeding of tiger jasmine

Tiger jasmine should be ventilated more often. If ventilation is poor, diseases and pests will easily occur. During the peak growing season, diluted fermented rice water can be applied every week, and ferrous sulfate can be applied in combination to meet the requirement of acidic soil.
