How to prune potted jasmine

1. Pruning during the growing season

1. Reasons for pruning: The plant will have sufficient nutrition during the growth period and will grow vigorously, but if the plant continues to grow like this it will affect its flowering later.

2. Pruning method: Prune the branches and leaves of the plant during its growth period. First, you need to remove the small branches and leaves of the plant, because these branches and leaves will affect the plant's absorption of nutrients. Secondly, you need to remove the branches that are too long; because these branches will only grow longer and will not branch out, which will affect the development of the plant; finally, you need to remove the branches that will not branch out, because these branches will affect the plant's flowering, and branches that do not branch out will not bloom.

2. Pruning after flowering

1. Reasons for pruning: The plants will be relatively weak after flowering and have a greater demand for nutrients. If there are extra flower branches, it will affect the plant's absorption of nutrients. Moreover, because there are extra branches and leaves, it will affect the plant's ability to bloom in the second year.

2. Pruning method: After the flowering period of the plant, the first thing to do is to remove the excess flowers. Secondly, all the branches of the plant that have bloomed need to be cut off, because this type of plant will not bloom again on the branches that have bloomed.

3. Pruning before spring

1. Reason for pruning: After the autumn and winter seasons, the plant will grow some dead branches that will not bloom. These dead branches will affect the flowering of the plant in spring.

2. Pruning method: Before the spring, cut off all the excess branches to ensure that only normal and healthy branches are left on the plant, which will not affect the plant's future flowering.
