Milan Jasmine... add some ingredients, 200 flowers will bloom and the fragrance will fill the sky!

Jasmine

You may have discovered that after you buy jasmine, the flowers bloom fewer and fewer, and some even drop their buds... It's not that jasmine is difficult to grow, it's that you haven't found the right method!

1. Soil

Newly bought jasmine is prone to problems during the adaptation period. For example, the buds and leaves may fall off due to the bumpy journey during online shopping; the pots bought from the flower market are simple plastic and the soil is not very good. These are all normal. Don’t water the plants when you get them home. Wait until the soil is dry, then prepare to change the pot and soil.

Jasmine likes breathable, fertile acidic soil, preferably nutrient soil (leaf mold is also fine): sandy soil: perlite = 5:3:3, mix together.

2. Add base fertilizer

When repotting jasmine, take the original soil with you, and be careful not to damage the root system. Put some slow-release fertilizer, crushed eggshells, horseshoes, bone meal, etc. at the bottom of the pot. These can all serve as base fertilizers, which will make it easier to bloom later.

3. Adequate lighting

Except for the jasmine that has just been bought or repotted, which needs to be cared for in diffused light, it should be placed in a sunny place normally. The more sun it gets, the harder it will grow. If the temperature in summer reaches over 36 degrees, you can provide shade at noon, but never put it in an air-conditioned room. The alternating cold and heat will kill it!

4. Water thoroughly when dry

Jasmine likes water, so make sure to water it thoroughly each time. The specific time to water it should depend on the specific situation of your home. If you see that the leaves are a little wilted, water them quickly. After a few times, you will master the pattern. Water less on rainy days, because the humidity is high and evaporation is weak on rainy days, and the roots are prone to rot, just like watering on sunny days.

Huahua recommends that everyone put the plants in a pot and let them air dry for one day before watering them with tap water to allow the chlorine to disappear before using them. Alternatively, you can collect rainwater, condensed water from air conditioners, or water from fish tanks and let it settle for one day before watering the flowers. Jasmine likes this acidic water very much. If your home environment is good, you can also draw water from rivers and lakes.

5. Appropriate topdressing

If you want jasmine to bloom more, the most direct way is to spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves. This is a common flowering agent, which is generally sold in flower shops. Just spray it once a week, and it will bloom faster and more.

In addition to foliar fertilizer, you can also add some earthworm manure, decomposed fruit and vegetable fertilizer, and fish and shrimp fertilizer into the pot every half a month. Earthworm fertilizer needs to be found in the suburbs; fruit fertilizer and fish and shrimp fertilizer are made by burying fruit peels, fish and shrimps in the soil, and fermenting them for one month in summer until they are completely decomposed into nutrient soil before use. It can be used for general flowering plants.

6. Pruning

When jasmine blooms, 70% of it depends on pruning! Cut off 5-8 cm long branches after each flowering, and more buds will grow soon, and finally more flower buds will grow. Jasmine pruned in this way can bloom 3-5 times a year. If you don't believe it, try it~

Milan

Milan is in full bloom now, and the fragrance is comparable to that of jasmine. When the flowers bloom, the whole yard is filled with fragrance, and even the neighbors can smell it. I wonder if yours has bloomed?

1. It’s best to buy locally

Many flower lovers complain that the newly bought Milan loves to shed leaves. In fact, it is because they are not adapted to the local climate. Huahua thinks that flowers with weak adaptability such as Milan are best purchased locally, especially flower lovers in the north, you must pay attention~

2. Add acid

There are two main reasons why the leaves of Milan turn yellow after being grown for a while. One is that you water it too much, and the other is that the alkalinity is too high. Milan likes acid, so it needs to be regularly watered with ferrous sulfate solution. This is similar to gardenia. Flower lovers who have yellow leaves on Milan or gardenia at home should try this right away.

3. Adequate lighting

Milan loves light, and summer is no exception. It must be exposed to the sun in the morning and evening. It can be shaded from 12 noon to 2 pm. It cannot be moved into an air-conditioned room suddenly, otherwise it will easily die!

4. Ventilation

Milan must be kept in a ventilated environment, otherwise it is easy to grow some small white powder in the summer. This is algae spot disease caused by stuffiness and lack of ventilation. Rinse it off with a shower and then place it in a ventilated place on the balcony or windowsill.

5. Add fertilizer

Milan can also be sprayed with foliar fertilizer: potassium dihydrogen phosphate, once a week. You can also water some nutrient solution. Flower lovers who don’t want to buy fertilizers can make their own. Many fertilizers can be used.

Break the bean cake, sesame cake and rapeseed cake left over from oil extraction into pieces and soak them in water. They will be ripe after fermenting for 15-20 days in summer (be careful to open the lid to prevent air from escaping). Mix fertilizer and water (1:2000) and water Milan twice a week. The Milan will grow stronger and stronger.

Or you can mix chicken and duck powder with soil and bury it for 1 month to decompose into nutrient soil. Add 10-20g to the Milan pot every month. It is also a good nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. It must be decomposed before use!
