How to grow jasmine to keep it alive and well?

Jasmine is a relatively easy plant to care for, but many flower lovers still encounter problems during the cultivation process, such as root rot, leaf withering or stagnation of plant growth. In fact, as long as you master some basic maintenance techniques, jasmine can thrive. Let’s learn together how to grow jasmine so that it can live well.

1. Soil selection

Jasmine requires well-drained, breathable soil. Avoid using garden soil that easily accumulates water and becomes compacted. It is recommended to use garden soil mixed with river sand, or to mix river sand and nutrient-rich soil in a 1:1 ratio to ensure that the soil is both breathable and rich in nutrients.

2. Flowerpot size

Choose a flowerpot that is the right size for the jasmine. A pot that is too large will cause the soil to remain wet for a long time, which is not good for root health.

3. Lighting needs

Jasmine is a light-loving plant, and sufficient sunlight is essential for its growth and flowering. Lack of light can cause the plant to grow too tall, the branches to become thin and bend easily, the leaves to become smaller, and flowering to be affected. Therefore, no matter how the seasons change, make sure that the jasmine receives adequate light.

4. Watering and fertilizing

Jasmine is not drought-tolerant, so watering should follow the principle of "water thoroughly when dry", that is, water thoroughly when the soil in the pot is half dry. Since jasmine grows all year round and blooms frequently, fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium, such as Huaduoduo No. 2, should be applied regularly, 2 to 3 times a month to ensure adequate nutrients. Avoid using fertilizers that only contain phosphorus and potassium to prevent poor growth of plants due to lack of other elements.

5. Pruning and ventilation

After flowering, prune the branches in time, remove small and weak branches, retain thick branches, and appropriately shorten the overly long branches to promote the growth of new buds and the formation of flower buds. Keeping the environment ventilated will help jasmine grow healthily.

6. Temperature requirements

The indoor temperature should be kept above 15 degrees to ensure that the jasmine can grow and bloom normally.

The above is an introduction to the key points of jasmine cultivation . Jasmine cultivation is actually very simple. As long as you follow these maintenance principles, jasmine can not only grow healthily, but also bloom rich and fragrant flowers.
