How to grow jasmine in summer

1. Breeding environment

1. Water: Water evaporates quickly in summer. Jasmine can be watered once in the morning and once in the evening to keep the soil moist without water accumulation. When the breeding environment is relatively dry, you need to spray water on the leaves to increase the humidity.

2. Light: Give it enough sunlight, but avoid being exposed to direct sunlight during summer midday. However, it can receive light at other times, and only with sufficient light can it grow more healthily.

3. Fertilization: In summer, jasmine should be fertilized once a week. Fertilizer can be compound fertilizer or fully decomposed fertilizer. Be careful not to apply too much fertilizer to avoid burning the roots of the plant.

4. Pruning: Summer is the peak growth period of jasmine. At this time, dead branches, diseased branches and overgrown branches should be pruned away. Removing the remaining flowers after they fade will help new branches grow better.

2. Common pests and diseases

1. Anthracnose: It will harm the leaves of the plant, and white and gray-brown circular spots will appear. If you find this phenomenon on the leaves, you should first remove the diseased leaves and then spray them with pesticides for prevention and control. If the disease is more serious, you can spray it with thiophanate-methyl wettable powder or carbendazim.

2. Red spider mites: The weather is hot and humid in the summer, and if it is coupled with an overly humid environment, red spider mites are likely to appear, causing the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off. Once diseased branches and leaves are discovered, they should be pruned off in time. If there are a large number of them, they can be sprayed with pesticides. In addition, windows should be opened frequently during maintenance.
