When is the best time to prune jasmine?

1. Spring growing season

During the growing season in spring, jasmine will grow rapidly and its branches will also grow very fast. If it is not pruned properly, it will grow very messy. Specifically, at this time, dense branches need to be thinned out to ensure ventilation and light.

2. The flowering period in early autumn

During the flowering period in early autumn, the flowers originally in bloom on the plant will wither one after another. Some of the remaining flowers will fall off naturally, but some will remain on the plant. They will continue to consume nutrients from the plant, so they need to be cut off in time.

3. Dormancy in late winter

When late winter is about to enter spring, the plant needs to be pruned and the thin and leggy branches need to be cut off, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant during the growing season in the spring of the following year.
