How to grow jasmine

Winter Jasmine Growth Conditions

Forsythia likes light and needs sufficient sunlight in its growing environment. It is slightly shade-tolerant and likes to grow in a warm and humid environment. It is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. It grows vigorously in acidic soil, but grows poorly in alkaline soil.

How to grow jasmine

To grow forsythia, you need to use loose, fertile, well-drained, acidic sandy soil, control the temperature at around 15 degrees, receive appropriate scattered light, and have sufficient water. Water 1-3 times depending on the situation before flowering, apply liquid fertilizer once or twice a month during the growing period, and also apply dilute fertilizer once before flowering.

Watering jasmine

During the maintenance of winter jasmine, the soil should be kept moist. Water it frequently before and after flowering to keep the soil moist, generally 1 to 3 times. Water it frequently before the rainy season, and try not to water it on rainy days.

Fertilizing forsythia

It is necessary to apply 1 to 2 times of decomposed thin liquid fertilizer every month. July to August is the differentiation period of flower buds of Forsythia jasminoides. More phosphorus fertilizer should be applied to promote flower bud differentiation. Decomposed organic liquid fertilizer should be applied before flowering to ensure that the Forsythia jasminoides are brightly colored and prolong the flowering period.

Winter jasmine disease and insect pest control

A common disease of forsythia is mosaic disease. Once it occurs, weeds should be removed in time to reduce the source of infection. Secondly, aphids should be prevented and controlled as soon as possible to eliminate the infectious vector.

How to grow jasmine at home

When growing forsythia at home, you need to use loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil to ensure sufficient light, but you must pay attention to shading in summer and keep the room temperature above 15℃ in winter.

Water the forsythia frequently before and after it blooms, and try not to water it on rainy days. Use hoof slices as base fertilizer before potting, use dilute liquid fertilizer during the growing season, and apply appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizer during the flowering period.

Precautions for the maintenance of jasmine

Forsythia grows relatively vigorously and needs to be pinched frequently during the growth process to cut off the new branches on the top and trim the branches that are too long. Generally, 2 to 3 buds are left on each branch, and more buds can be left on the main branches.
