How to prolong the flowering period of jasmine

1. Fertilization

If you want to extend the flowering period of jasmine, you should apply fertilizer reasonably. During its peak flowering period, water and fertilizer management should be strengthened, and fertilization should follow the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently, generally once every two days, and you can apply fully decomposed liquid fertilizer. The best time to fertilize is in the evening. With sufficient nutrients, the flowering period will be longer and there will be more flowers.

2. Lighting

Jasmine likes sunshine, and only by giving it enough sunlight can its flowering period be longer. If it is kept in a shaded environment for a long time during maintenance, it will not only affect the flowering period but also be detrimental to its normal growth. You can place it on the balcony for maintenance so that you don’t have to worry about water accumulation during the rainy season.

3. Pruning

If you want to extend the flowering period and make more flowers bloom, you must prune them in time. Weak branches should be pruned away, and dead flowers should be cleaned up during the flowering season. Only by pruning the newly sprouted branches in time can it sprout flower buds.

4. Pull

When jasmine's new branches bud, 4-5 leaves should be left and the tops should be pulled off. When pulling, you should sort them out in order and leave some behind. After pruning and maintenance for a period of time after flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be added in time before the flower buds differentiate, which is conducive to its flowering.
