Jasmine cultivation techniques and precautions

Jasmine cultivation techniques and precautions

Jasmine is a leader among flowers for its white flowers, rich fragrance and diverse uses. Jasmine is light-loving and needs plenty of sunlight to grow well and bloom. It needs at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow too tall and produce fewer flowers. The following are jasmine cultivation tips and precautions.

1. Breeding techniques

1. Lighting management

Jasmine likes the sun and needs plenty of sunlight to grow well and bloom. When caring for jasmine at home, place it in a sunny location and ensure at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Jasmine can adapt to even the strong light of summer and does not need to be blocked.

2. Temperature control

Jasmine likes warmth and is not cold-resistant. The most suitable growth temperature is 25℃-35℃. The temperature in winter should be kept above 10℃. If the temperature drops below 0℃, cover it with a plastic bag to keep warm.

3. Watering method

Jasmine likes moisture but avoids waterlogging. When watering, you need to follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry and water when the soil is wet", that is, water after the soil surface is dry. When watering, water thoroughly to ensure that the roots can fully absorb it. During the high temperatures in summer, water the plants once in the morning and once in the evening.

4. Fertilization tips

Jasmine likes fertilizer, especially during the growing season and before flowering, it needs sufficient nutrients. Fertilization should follow the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application", and apply thin liquid fertilizer 1-2 times a month. Before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to promote flower bud differentiation. For example, use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sprinkle 2-3 grams each time on the soil surface, and let it dissolve and penetrate after watering.

5. Soil selection

Jasmine grows best in slightly acidic, humus-rich sandy soil. It can be mixed with equal amounts of leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand. This kind of soil has good air permeability and drainage, which is conducive to root growth.

6. Pruning management

Pruning is an important part of jasmine care. In spring, heavy pruning can be done around the Qingming Festival to retain some green new branches and promote the germination of new buds. Lightly prune after flowering to remove the remaining flowers and branches and leaves under the flowers to promote branching and regrowth.

2. Precautions

1. Keep warm

When the temperature is below 5℃ in winter, jasmine needs to be moved indoors to keep warm. People in northern regions should pay special attention to winter cold prevention measures.

2. Pest and disease control

Jasmine is susceptible to pests and diseases such as aphids and red spiders. When pests and diseases are found, you can spray soapy water or pepper water, and at the same time increase ventilation and reduce air humidity.

In short, jasmine grows quickly and it is recommended to repot it once every spring. When repotting, you can trim the old roots and replace them with new, loose and breathable soil.
