How to prune jasmine

1. Time for pruning

There are two time periods for plant pruning. One is before winter. The plants will not bloom at this time, but after the Spring Festival they will slowly begin to absorb nutrients and prepare for flowering. Therefore, the plants should be pruned at this time to help store nutrients before flowering.

The other is after the flowering period of the plant, because the plant has the characteristic of not blooming on branches that have bloomed, then the branches that have bloomed are useless, and if they are kept they will compete with the main branches for nutrients, so these branches need to be removed. This plant has a strong regeneration ability. Pruning the plant will not affect the health of the plant, but will promote the development of new branches, so the owners can prune it with confidence.

2. Trimming length

As mentioned above, the plant has a strong regeneration ability, so when pruning the plant, you do not need to pay special attention to the pruning length. As long as the main branches are not pruned, any branches that have bloomed can be pruned.

3. Pruned branches

Many people don't know what can be cut off and what cannot be cut off when pruning plants. When pruning this type of plant, cut off all the flowers that have bloomed. Another place that needs pruning is that after the plant blooms, some flowers will bloom and fade. There is no need to wait until all the flowers fade before pruning these branches with blooming and fading flowers. They can be pruned after the flowering period.
