Introduction

Jasmine is a shrub of the Oleaceae family and the genus Jasmine. It is up to 3 meters tall, with opposite leaves that are round, oval, ovate-elliptical or obovate. The fruit is spherical and purple-black. It can be propagated by cuttings and layering. Common varieties include tiger jasmine, gem jasmine, lion head jasmine, and chrysanthemum jasmine king.

How to cultivate jasmine

Jasmine likes a warm, humid, and well-ventilated environment. It is a sun-loving plant, but it cannot tolerate strong light. It can be grown in semi-shade. The best soil is one that contains a lot of humus and has good drainage. Most varieties are not cold-resistant. If the temperature is below 3 degrees, the branches and leaves are prone to frost damage and even death. It is necessary to take measures to keep warm.

Watering method

After jasmine is planted, you can water it thoroughly once, which is the water to fix the roots. Jasmine likes moisture and needs to be watered frequently, but it is afraid of water accumulation. You need to control the watering time and amount and avoid causing the potting soil to be overly moist.

Fertilization method

Jasmine is a plant that likes fertilizer. Usually, you can apply well-rotted bean cake and fish water fertilizer liquid. Control the application of chemical fertilizers. Too much will burn the jasmine plants. During the flowering period from June to September, you can apply liquid fertilizer with high phosphorus content every 2-3 days. You can also spray 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution on the leaves to promote more flowering.

Pruning methods

To enhance the ornamental value of potted jasmine, the withered branches should be cut off immediately after the flowers fade. This can promote the sprouting of new branches at the base and also control the height of the plant.

Things to note when cultivating jasmine

Jasmine is suitable for planting in soil rich in organic matter and with good water permeability and ventilation. The pot needs to be changed every 1-2 years. Each time the pot is changed, the roots need to be trimmed, then watered once and sprayed with a new lipid film, so that it can quickly adapt to the new environment.
