How to prune African jasmine

Pruning preparation

Pruning should be prepared half a month in advance, and the African jasmine should be placed in a suitable environment and fertilized appropriately to promote growth. After half a month, the branches can be pruned back. The specific method can be determined according to the size of the plant. Usually keep about 15 to 30 cm, which is very flexible.

prune

For normally growing plants, the branches can be appropriately pruned. The branches grown in the current year can be appropriately retained, and the branches grown in the previous year can be retained to about 10 cm. Dead branches, diseased branches, and branches that are too thin should be cut off. The old soil and root residues around the roots should be removed and replaced with new culture soil. Be careful not to damage the roots.

While pruning, you should also pay attention to the shape. Any strange shape is fine, such as mushroom shape, spherical shape, etc., just create it according to your mood. But be careful not to trim too much at one time when styling, as it will be difficult to recover.

Post-cut maintenance

After pruning, reduce the number of watering times. It is best to water with fertilizer, which can promote plant growth. If properly maintained, new branches and buds will soon grow, and the plants will be clustered with flowers next year.
