Jasmine pruning method and time

1. Pruning time

There are three main times for pruning jasmine. The first is during the growing season in spring, which is around the Qingming Festival. Pruning at this time can help it grow evenly faster. The second is after the flowers fade, that is, in August or September. Pruning at this time can help it recover quickly from the weak period after flowering. Third, during the dormant period, that is, before spring, it can help it grow stronger.

2. Pruning method

The first pruning requires thinning out overly dense branches and shortening overly long branches. This will allow the entire plant to grow evenly and increase its ornamental value.

The second pruning requires cutting off all the withered flowers and buds left on the branches of the jasmine flowers to reduce nutrient consumption. In addition, for weak flower branches, the entire branch can be cut off.

During the third pruning, all the overgrown, weak, and diseased and insect-infested branches need to be cut off to ensure that the plant can grow more healthily.
