How to transplant newly bought jasmine?

Jasmine has won the love of many flower lovers with its white flowers and rich fragrance. However, how to transplant newly purchased jasmine flowers is a difficult problem faced by many flower lovers. Let us now learn about the specific transplanting matters in the next issue.

1. Watering to slow down the growth of seedlings

Newly bought jasmine flowers should be watered on their branches and leaves first to replenish moisture and help the plants grow.

2. Pot soil preparation

(1) Flower pot: Choose a clay pot that is breathable and of appropriate size. There should be drainage holes at the bottom of the flower pot to facilitate the drainage of accumulated water.

(2) Soil: Choose loose, fertile, and breathable soil. Add an appropriate amount of leaf mold or perlite to improve soil permeability.

3. Transplanting time

The best time to transplant jasmine is in spring and autumn. The climate in these two seasons is mild, and the temperature is stable at around 20 degrees, which has little impact on jasmine.

4. Remove the pot

Gently tap the sides of the flowerpot to separate the soil from the pot, then carefully remove the jasmine from the original pot, trying to retain the root sand ball and original soil.

5. Trimming

The branches, leaves and roots of jasmine can be properly pruned before transplanting. Cut off weak branches, diseased branches, overcrowded branches, and some old and diseased roots. At the same time, cut off all the flower buds to reduce nutrient consumption and help the seedlings to grow slowly.

6. Transplanting

Place a layer of gravel or expanded clay in the bottom of the new pot to improve drainage, then add a layer of soil. Then place the jasmine plant in the center of the new pot or planting area, making sure the plant is upright, and then gradually add soil, patting it gently as you add it so that the soil is firmly integrated with the roots.

7. Notes

When transplanting jasmine, special attention should be paid to protecting the root system to avoid injury and retain the fibrous roots. When choosing potting soil, avoid using fertilizers to prevent root rot, and do not apply fertilizers during the seedling acclimatization period. In addition, the newly transplanted jasmine should be placed in a well-ventilated place with sufficient diffuse light for 3-5 days, and then gradually exposed to sunlight. During the seedling stage, you need to observe the growth of jasmine at any time to prevent the soil in the pot from being too wet and causing root rot.

In general, when transplanting newly purchased jasmine, you must master the correct method to ensure that the plant can adapt to the pot and survive smoothly. After it has successfully adapted to the pot, taken root and sprouted, you can gradually resume normal care and management of the plant.
