How to prune jasmine to make it bloom more

Jasmine flowers are pure white and have a pleasant fragrance. They bloom from early summer to late autumn. However, when we grow jasmine, in addition to learning how to maintain it, we also need to learn how to prune it correctly so that the jasmine flowers bloom more and more fragrantly, and the seedlings are strong. So, how should we prune jasmine to make it bloom more?

① Jasmine pruning in spring

Pruning jasmine in spring can, firstly, reduce nutrient loss; secondly, it can help with ventilation and light transmission; thirdly, it can make the plant shape more beautiful .

  We prune jasmine in spring, mainly in early spring, because the jasmine has not yet started to grow. Pruning is conducive to the growth of more new branches and then more beautiful flowers.

Spring pruning mainly involves cutting off dry, weak, and dense branches. Also, removing some of the old leaves of the jasmine flowers can help promote the germination of the jasmine flowers and make them more uniform.

In addition, branches that grow too long also need to be pruned to make the jasmine plant more beautiful.

②Main points for pruning old jasmine plants

Jasmine flowers that are 3 to 6 years old grow more vigorously and bloom more .

When the jasmine plant grows to 8-9 years old, it will grow slowly. For such old jasmine plants, we need to prune them heavily in order to make the old plants sprout new buds and then bloom more flowers.

After the Waking of Insects, we can cut off all branches that are more than 3 cm above the ground. Then keep it in sufficient sunlight, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every 7 to 10 days, and water it thoroughly after the soil is dry.

This will allow the jasmine to grow new branches and bloom more beautiful flowers, and it can also give old jasmine plants a new look.

③Can jasmine be pruned after it blooms?

Jasmine also needs to be pruned after flowering, because jasmine flowers will bloom on new branches, so pruning after the flowering period is important .

  After the jasmine flowers on a branch have bloomed, we can cut off this branch of jasmine, leaving two pairs of leaves on this branch and cut off all the leaves above.

If the branches of jasmine are thin, we can also cut off the thin branches and leave the old branches below. In this way, the jasmine will grow new branches again and bloom more and more beautiful flowers.
