How to care for potted jasmine in winter

Is potted jasmine afraid of freezing?

Potted jasmine is afraid of cold, and its leaves will fall off if there is a slight frost. In winter, it needs to be moved indoors and placed in a sunny room. The room temperature at night should be kept at 5℃~8℃, and the temperature during the day should be kept at 10℃~15℃.

How to care for potted jasmine in winter

1. Moisture

In winter, jasmine enters a dormant period, its growth rate slows down, and its water demand also decreases. Do not water it too much at this time. It is best to keep the soil slightly moist. Water it once every half a month, and the water temperature should be kept consistent with room temperature.

2. Soil

When potted jasmine is maintained indoors in winter, it is necessary to regularly add an appropriate amount of compost soil or peat soil to the soil to improve the soil, ensure the root growth environment, and improve soil fertility.

3. Temperature

Potted jasmine will generally suffer frost damage when the temperature is below 3℃ in winter, so you should pay attention to keeping warm and preventing frost in winter, move it indoors for maintenance in time, and control the room temperature at 12℃.

4. Sunbathing

In winter, potted jasmine can be exposed to the sun. Place it on the windowsill, facing east or south, and receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day to ensure that it blooms more.

5. Maintenance in the north

In northern regions, potted jasmine should be moved indoors before the Cold Dew every year. The minimum temperature at night should be 12℃-14℃, and the maximum temperature during the day should be 18℃-20℃. Pay attention to proper ventilation, otherwise the leaves will easily fall off and the roots will rot.

Precautions for winter cultivation of potted jasmine

1. During the coldest period of winter, potted jasmine should be protected from wind to prevent the branches and leaves from freezing to death. The plants should also be given more light and more ventilation to facilitate the breathing of the branches, leaves and roots, and avoid the symptoms of dead branches and fallen leaves.

2. When caring for potted jasmine in winter, regular pruning is required to make the plant more beautiful, promote the formation of flower buds, and ensure more flowering. You can also add ferrous sulfate solution when watering to maintain the acidity of the soil and help the plant bloom.
