Jasmine soil

Jasmine does not have very high requirements for soil. Generally, soil with sufficient nutrients can meet the growth of jasmine. However, it is recommended to choose soil with good drainage and air permeability so that there will be no water accumulation. The soil should be slightly acidic, that is, the pH value should be between 5-6, which will be more suitable for the growth of jasmine.

Jasmine soil preparation method

1. Sandy soil + humus soil + peat soil: Sandy soil, humus soil and peat soil can be mixed in a ratio of 1:1:2. The soil prepared in this way is most suitable for the growth of jasmine. You can also add some nitrogen fertilizer as base fertilizer for jasmine.

2. Garden soil + compost + river sand: Generally, garden soil, compost, and river sand can be configured in a ratio of 2:2:1. You can also add decomposed cake fertilizer to the configured soil to increase soil fertility. This kind of soil is suitable for the growth of jasmine.

Jasmine soil change

The soil of jasmine can be changed in spring every year. Stop watering before changing the soil, which makes it easier to remove the jasmine from the pot. After the jasmine is removed from the pot, you can check the growth of the roots and cut off the dead and blackened parts. Healthy roots should be shortened appropriately to promote the growth of new roots.

Then fill the prepared soil into a flowerpot with small holes, good air permeability and drainage, plant the jasmine in the middle of the flowerpot, compact the soil, then water it thoroughly, and maintain it in a well-lit and ventilated place.
