How to prune jasmine in winter (method and time)

1. Pruning method

When pruning jasmine in winter, the main thing is to cut off the branches with weaker growth ability. This will concentrate nutrients and help its growth in the next year. You also need to cut off about 2/3 of the thick branches, leaving only 1/3 of the branches. In addition, according to the shape of the jasmine plant, the cross-growing, parallel, and dense branches should be cut off. The purpose of this is to promote the growth of new buds.

Note: When doing winter pruning, do not remove all the leaves, and keep a few leaves appropriately. It can help the plant to photosynthesize and is also very beneficial for it to survive the winter.

2. Pruning time

Winter pruning should be done just after the beginning of winter, or before or after the beginning of winter. It is best to do it when the temperature is 0℃. If you are a flower lover in the northern region and have heating at home, try to wait until spring to do it. Otherwise, it will absorb nutrients after pruning, which will be very unfavorable for its flowering in the second year. If you are in a southern area without heating, you can do pruning in winter.
