When to prune jasmine in spring

1. Spring

Spring is the season when all things begin to grow. The germination rate is relatively fast during this period. If the plants are not pruned carefully, the branches will soon become messy. This will not only consume a lot of nutrients, but also affect the light conditions, making nutrient synthesis a problem. You can remove some of the branches that grow too vigorously, but the force should not be too strong. Light pruning will be sufficient. Heavy pruning will make recovery difficult.

Autumn

Its flowering period lasts until early autumn. After the flowers wither, in addition to removing the remaining flowers, the branches should also be pruned and shortened to effectively ensure nutrient accumulation and promote growth in the coming year. This way, the flowering situation in the coming year can be optimistic, and the pruning effort does not need to be too great.

3. Winter

Winter is the best time for pruning, and the pruning can be heavier. It is during the dormant period, so pruning has less impact on the plants. Before pruning, you should first observe the entire plant and remove the thin branches on it. If left on it, it will be difficult for these branches to grow into thick flowering branches, and they will compete with the strong branches for nutrients. Only leave the thick branches on it.
