How to care for newly bought jasmine

1. Temperature

Jasmine is a plant that prefers warmth. It is best to place it in a greenhouse or indoors at a temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius when you first buy it. If it is summer, you should avoid prolonged scorching heat and can choose to spray water mist around to cool down.

2. Watering

The root system of the newly purchased jasmine may not be fully developed yet. It is normal for it to temporarily shed leaves due to sudden changes in the environment. Don't rush to water at the beginning. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Generally, water thoroughly once a week or so.

3. Pruning

When you buy it, you need to remove its dead branches, rotten leaves and rotten roots, leaving only about 3 to 4 branches that grow well. In this way, nutrients can be provided only to those branches that grow well, increasing the chance of survival.

4. Fertilization

The metabolism and growth of jasmine flowers are very slow after they are just brought home, and they adapt very poorly to the environment, so fertilizers cannot be applied immediately. If you apply fertilizer rashly at this time, it may cause soil compaction, yellowing of branches and leaves, etc. When applying fertilizer normally, apply a thin layer of fertilizer every 3-4 days during the growing season.
