Cultivation methods and precautions of Trachelospermum erythrorhizon

1. Maintenance conditions

1. Light: It is best to place it next to a windowsill with good sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight in summer to avoid sunburn. When the light is too strong, it needs appropriate shade.

2. Water: In spring and summer, it is in its growing season. Water it every two days, and once a day in summer to keep it moist. No watering is needed in winter, as long as the soil in the pot is not too dry. Usually it can be watered once every half a month.

3. Soil: It is best to choose loose, fertile, river sand or other sandy soil for breeding. The pH value of the cultivation soil should be acidic, and it should be disinfected before use.

4. Fertilization: It does not require high fertilizer requirements. Applying an appropriate amount or a small amount of fertilizer when it is growing vigorously can help it grow better. Stop fertilizing in winter.

5. Pruning: You can usually cut back long branches appropriately to promote branching, mainly cutting off branches that are too long and dead branches, etc., to ensure balanced absorption of nutrients and maintain a better posture.

2. Precautions

Trachelospermum jasminoides is more susceptible to attack by insects, especially aphids. Therefore, during the breeding period, we can use a special anti-aphid drug to dilute and spray the plants to avoid insect invasion.
