How to grow jasmine more vigorously?

Jasmine is popular for its vigorous flowering ability and rich fragrance, and many people like to grow it. For beginners who are trying to grow flowers for the first time, they may be confused about how to care for jasmine. Let’s learn how to grow jasmine to make it more vigorous.

1. Soil selection

Jasmine prefers well-aerated soil. When cultivating indoors, it is recommended to mix half river sand or coal slag with half nutrient soil (such as peat soil or leaf mold) to enhance the air permeability and water retention of the soil while providing necessary nutrients.

2. Lighting requirements

Jasmine is a light-loving plant, and sufficient sunlight is the key to its healthy growth and flowering. It should be placed where it receives full sunlight year-round to avoid problems with weak branches and reduced flowering.

3. Watering and fertilizing

Watering: Follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do", to avoid the soil being dry for a long time which will cause leaf withering and root damage.

Fertilization: Jasmine needs adequate phosphorus during its growth and flowering period. You can choose a fertilizer containing high phosphorus, such as Huaduoduo No. 2, and apply it 2 to 3 times a month to promote the opening of flowers. In addition, use slow-release fertilizers , such as multi-element slow-release fertilizers, and apply them once every three months to ensure basic nutrients in the soil.

4. Pruning

Prune promptly after flowering, leaving 1 to 2 pairs of leaves to promote the growth of new buds and flowering again.

5. Flowerpot selection

Do not use a pot that is too large to prevent excess water from causing root rot.

In short, through the above methods, even a novice in flower growing can easily cultivate healthy jasmine flowers that bloom continuously. Remember to prune properly after flowering to encourage new growth and re-opening of flowers.
