How often should I water jasmine?

Jasmine is a flower that prefers a warm and humid environment, and the frequency of watering is directly related to the growth and flowering conditions of the plant. Jasmine's watering requirements vary in different seasons and climatic conditions. So how often should we water jasmine? Let’s learn more about it below.

How often should I water jasmine?

Watering of jasmine should be adjusted according to the season. Water once every 2-3 days in spring; once a day in summer, and spray water on the leaves 1-2 times a day; water once every 1-2 days in autumn; in winter, just keep the flower soil slightly moist, generally water once every 5-7 days.

How to water jasmine?

1. Watering time

In seasons with high temperatures, water the plants in the morning and evening. In seasons with low temperatures, it is best to water jasmine at noon.

2. Watering principles

Jasmine likes moisture but cannot tolerate waterlogging, so when watering, you should follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when watering." Before watering, you can insert your finger into the soil about 2-3 cm deep to feel the moisture of the soil. If the soil is dry, water it; if the soil is moist, wait a while before watering again.

3. Water quality selection

Jasmine is a plant that prefers acid. Therefore, if you want jasmine to grow well and bloom more flowers, you need to water it with more "acid water", such as rainwater, which is a good choice. If you want to use tap water for flowers, you must let it sit for a few days to allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate.

4. Watering method

When watering, it is recommended to water along the edge of the flowerpot. If the leaves are too dense, you need to irrigate directly into the soil and keep the soil moist. In addition, you should spray water on the leaves from time to time to wash away the dust on the leaves and branches and enhance the photosynthesis of the leaves.

5. Notes

Whenever you water, you should water according to the dryness or wetness of the soil in the pot, and don't just pursue the frequency of watering. And each time you water, you must water thoroughly. Don't water halfway or have water accumulation. Watch the bottom when watering until water flows out from the drainage at the bottom. In addition, take shelter from rain in time during rainy seasons to prevent the soil in the pot from drying out and causing root rot.

In general, the watering method of jasmine is not difficult to master. You just need to judge when to water it, give it the right amount of water, and avoid water accumulation to promote its healthy growth.
