Jasmine pruning method and time

1. Spring pruning

Spring is the right time for pruning. It is necessary to pinch and top the plants in time to control the growth height of the plants, so that side branches will find it difficult to sprout. In addition, after a period of maintenance, the branches tend to grow in a disorderly manner, and even some dead branches and yellow branches may appear. In addition, due to poor ventilation, diseased and insect-infested branches may appear. Spring is a good time to prune branches. Branches that do not grow well should be cut off. There is no use in leaving some thin branches.

2. Summer and Autumn Pruning

Pruning in summer and autumn is very important. This time period is just after the flowers have bloomed and faded. Some flowers will bloom and fade early in summer, while others will bloom and fade late in early autumn. Remove the remaining flowers first and don't leave them on the plants to reduce nutrient consumption. Leave 3-5 nodes on the branches and cut off the top. This will promote the sprouting of new buds and ensure abundant flowering later.

3. Winter pruning

Winter pruning is also suitable, as it is during the dormant period and pruning at this time will not have much impact on the plant. First observe the entire plant and cut off some of the overlapping branches. This will not only reduce nutrient consumption, but also improve lighting conditions and promote sunlight penetration.
