Jasmine flowers are as white as snow, with a fragrant smell and elegant flavor that intoxicates people. If you grow a pot of it at home, the fragrance will overflow and fill the whole house. It is a very popular ornamental flower.

It is summer now, the season when jasmine flowers are in full bloom. When growing jasmine flowers in summer, pay attention to the following points so that the flowers can bloom continuously. I will briefly share them with you below.

First, pruning

This is also a question that many flower lovers are concerned about. Can jasmine be pruned in summer and how should it be pruned?

If you want the jasmine to bloom continuously, you need to prune it during the summer flowering season. When the flowers are withered, trim away the dead flowers. You should also prune the branches and leaves when they are dense to increase ventilation and air permeability .

Pruning off the dead flowers can reduce nutrient consumption and promote the sprouting of more branches and buds, so pruning jasmine is very necessary.

Second, ventilation

Many people grow jasmine indoors or on the balcony. In the summer, it is hot and stuffy, so you must pay attention to ventilation. Only in a well-ventilated environment can jasmine bloom vigorously in the summer.

Third, illumination

Any flower needs sufficient light to bloom, and jasmine is no exception. It also needs sufficient light to bloom abundantly. If it lacks light, it will bloom sparsely.

However, the sunlight is strong in summer, so jasmine should be exposed to light in the morning and evening, and shaded at noon. It is best to have diffuse light.

Fourth, fertilization

Fertilizing jasmine is also very important. Although it is summer and many flowers are not suitable for fertilization, jasmine is a fertilizer-loving flower, especially when it blooms, it consumes a lot of nutrients, so appropriate supplementation of fertilizer is very necessary.

When fertilizing, we can use organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and chicken manure fertilizer, but we should apply thin fertilizers frequently. Especially after pruning the dead flowers, it is necessary to add fertilizer appropriately.
