How to plant jasmine seeds

1. Soak in clean water

Jasmine has a pleasant fragrance and is highly ornamental. It has become an indispensable plant in the home. Before sowing jasmine, you can soak the seeds in clean water to increase the chance of germination. Wait until the seed shell cracks before planting.

2. Soil selection

Jasmine prefers soil with good air permeability. It can be prepared with humus soil, fine sand and perlite in a ratio of 7:5:3. The prepared soil contains rich nutrients and has high air permeability, which is more suitable for the growth of jasmine.

3. Seeding and planting

Place the soaked seeds in the prepared soil, then cover with 3 cm thick soil. Do not water after sowing, otherwise it will affect the germination rate of the jasmine seeds. If the soil is relatively dry, spray on the soil surface until it is moist.

4. Shade and cool maintenance

After sowing, jasmine seeds should be kept in a cool, dark place. If exposed to light, it will easily accelerate the loss of water and will also have a certain impact on seed germination. After rooting, the surface soil can be watered until moist. When the jasmine grows true leaves, the frequency of watering needs to be increased.

Jasmine daily management precautions

Pay attention to light during jasmine management. It is best to place it in semi-shade. If the temperature is low in winter, move it indoors to prevent it from frost damage. Pay attention to water and fertilizer during the growth period of jasmine. It is most appropriate to keep the soil slightly moist. When applying fertilizer, follow the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently. Apply more phosphorus fertilizer during its flowering period.
