1. Cutting propagation method of yellow jasmine

1. Choose buds

You need to choose the strongest branch on the mother plant, cut off a 7 to 10 cm length, and then place it in a cool and ventilated environment to allow the cut to dry slightly.

2. Choose the soil

The soil should be fertile and loose, and then humus, perlite and garden soil should be mixed in a ratio of 4:3:3 to ensure permeability and fertility.

3. Insert the seeds into the soil

Insert the branches of the yellow jasmine into the prepared potting soil, 3 cm deep, press the soil firmly, and then add a little water to moisten the soil. Then place it in a cool and ventilated place. After about half a month, the cuttings will grow new roots and sprouts.

2. How to grow yellow jasmine?

1. Soil

Choose a slightly acidic soil that is well-drained, loose, breathable, and rich in humus. It is best to use flower pots with good air permeability, such as purple clay pots and tile pots. You can fill the bottom of the flower pots with larger particles of soil.

2. Lighting

When the midday sun is strong in summer, you can shade the plants appropriately. At other times, move the potted plants outdoors to absorb sufficient sunlight, and the daily sunlight duration should reach 6 hours.

3. Fertilization

In spring and summer, the growth of yellow jasmine is most vigorous. At this time, it is necessary to fertilize frequently, about twice a month. Phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen fertilizers can be used. At the end of June, you can apply alum fertilizer once a week to lower the pH value of the soil.

4. Temperature

The yellow jasmine is not cold-resistant. In winter, the plant must be kept warm and the ambient temperature maintained above 5 degrees. Otherwise, the plant will suffer from frost damage and die.

5. Watering

When watering, follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry. There is no need to water when the soil is not completely dry. Water twice a day in summer, once every two days in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. When the air humidity is too low, you can spray water on the leaves.

6. Repotting

To prevent malnutrition and soil compaction, the plants should be repotted regularly. When repotting, wait until the soil in the pot is slightly dry, then remove the plant from the pot, transplant it into the prepared new potting soil and water it thoroughly.

7. Pruning

Before winter, it is necessary to promptly cut off overgrown branches and old, weak, diseased and dead branches of the plant to reduce nutrient loss and allow the plant to survive the winter smoothly. In spring, you should cut off old leaves, top and pinch the branches to promote the sprouting of new branches.

8. Pests and diseases

Anthracnose and chlorosis are the main diseases of yellow jasmine, while red spider mites and red wax scale are the main insect pests of yellow jasmine. For diseases, you can apply iron sulfite, spray Bordeaux solution and other methods to prevent and control them. As for insect pests, in addition to catching insects manually and cutting off infected branches and leaves, you can also use wood ash, omethoate and other methods to prevent and control pests.
