Key points for autumn and winter care of potted jasmine

Do not prune jasmine

In autumn and winter, jasmine will be in a dormant state. At this time, the absorption of nutrients is relatively limited, and the demand for nutrients is also maintained by the nutrients stored in the branches. Therefore, in autumn and winter, it is best not to prune potted jasmine too much. Cutting off a large number of branches will be detrimental to its wintering.

Jasmine should be watered

In autumn and winter, the temperature is low and the light is not strong. At this time, jasmine is dormant, the growth of the root system slows down, and the growth of the plant also weakens. At this time, the watering time needs to be appropriately extended. The main thing is to keep the potting soil of the jasmine in a relatively dry state to prevent it from freezing and rotting. At the same time, the newly grown semi-lignified branches may become lignified before the arrival of the cold winter, which can improve the ability to resist frost.

Stop fertilizing jasmine

Similarly, in the autumn and winter seasons, because the plants are dormant, the nutrients they need have decreased, and the vitality of the root system has decreased, and the ability to absorb nutrients has weakened, so fertilization should be stopped. If you apply fertilizer at this time, it may cause fertilizer damage to the jasmine and the roots may rot easily.

Jasmine is in season

In autumn and winter, jasmine needs to be brought indoors in time to avoid being damaged by freezing, but you need to control the timing and don't be too anxious. You should let the jasmine slowly adapt to the temperature changes and don't rush to bring it indoors as soon as the temperature drops. This will allow the jasmine to adapt to the temperature.
