2. Maintenance methods of weeping jasmine

1. Choose a flower pot

Although the crown of the weeping jasmine will be relatively large, it does not need a flowerpot that is too large. The diameter of the flowerpot can be chosen according to the growth height of the plant. For example, when it is a seedling, you can choose a small flowerpot. As it grows, you can choose a larger flowerpot. Choose the diameter of the flowerpot according to the crown width. Don't do it all at once, because a large flowerpot means that water cannot be poured through, and it is also possible that water is difficult to evaporate after watering, causing root rot.

2. Pot soil configuration

In fact, it is very simple to choose the potting soil for weeping jasmine. Just use ordinary nutrient soil and add some slow-release fertilizer or sheep manure as base fertilizer, so that the weeping jasmine can grow well. These fertilizers can provide it with a steady supply of nutrients during its growth process, so when we are breeding, we must not forget the base fertilizer.

3. Watering frequency

In fact, when it comes to watering, weeping jasmine does not require a lot of water, and it also needs to adhere to the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry, especially in summer which is its peak growth season. Because it is not afraid of heat but afraid of cold, based on this characteristic, summer is its peak growth period. The more vigorous the growth, the more water it needs. Therefore, in summer, water must be poured thoroughly, and the pot should be soaked every once in a while to prevent insufficient watering.

4. Lighting control

Weeping Jasmine does not require too strong light. It is a plant that is afraid of direct sunlight. Its cultivation method is similar to that of some other plants that prefer weak sunlight. For example, it can be placed in a place where scattered light can reach it. Generally, three or four hours of light a day are enough.

5. Pruning and shaping

When pruning weeping jasmine, many people like to prune it into a lollipop shape, so that when its branches droop down and bloom, it will be very beautiful, forming a state of drooping silk ribbons and blooming.
