When is the best time to prune jasmine?

Pruning time

When pruning jasmine, it is usually best to do so after it blooms. Sometimes, the flowers may bloom at a concentrated time and wither at about the same time, so you can wait until they finish blooming to do the pruning together. However, some jasmine flowers may bloom sparsely, one by one. At this time, you can prune them after they bloom, but don't keep pruning them for too long.

When pruning jasmine, it is generally necessary to shorten and pinch the branches to promote the growth of flowering branches. The second step is to prune branches and leaves to promote ventilation and light transmission and maintain a good growth state.

Pruning time

Jasmine pruning is usually done during the Qingming Festival in conjunction with repotting.

When repotting, take out the plant and trim the roots, and be careful to keep them even. If the branches of the root system are dense and clumped, they can be evenly divided and planted. Then pruning is needed.

When pruning, remove some leaves without damaging the axillary buds.

When pruning, the cut branches and leaves can be used for cuttings.

In summer, in order to reduce the nutrient consumption of jasmine, it is necessary to promptly cut short some new strong branches and trim the leaves to promote lush flowers and leaves and a full plant shape.
