As a beautiful and passionate plant, African jasmine is deeply loved by people. If you also want to grow this beautiful flower in your own yard, try cutting African jasmine. Next, this article will introduce you to the methods and techniques of cuttage African jasmine to help you easily cultivate this beautiful flower.
1. Choose healthy jasmine branches If you want to successfully cuttage African jasmine, you must first choose healthy jasmine branches. When selecting, you should choose Jasmine branches that are bright in color, grow vigorously, and are free from pests and diseases. At the same time, pay attention to the length and diameter of the jasmine branches. Generally speaking, the length should be between 15-20 cm and the diameter should be between 2-3 mm.
2. Cutting Jasmine Branches When you select Jasmine Branches, you need to use a sharp pair of scissors to cut them off. When cutting, pay attention to cutting the branches obliquely, which can increase their water absorption capacity and facilitate growth after cuttage.
3. Remove excess leaves In order to maintain the vitality of the jasmine branch, we need to cut off the excess leaves on it. This can reduce its consumption of nutrients and is conducive to root growth after cuttage.
4. Prepare the culture soil for successful cuttage of African jasmine also requires the preparation of suitable culture soil. We can use loose, well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and add some organic fertilizers to ensure that the jasmine branches get enough nutrients after cutting.
5. Insert the jasmine branches into the soil and leave a small hole in the culture soil. Insert the jasmine branches that have just been prepared into them, and compact the soil to ensure that the jasmine branches can grow stably.
6. Maintaining humidity In the first few days after cuttage, jasmine branches need appropriate amounts of water and humidity to support their growth. We need to always pay attention to maintaining the humidity of the cuttage environment. We can spray some water around the jasmine branches or close them with plastic bags to increase the humidity of the environment.
7. Avoid direct sunlight When cutting jasmine branches, you need to pay attention to avoiding direct sunlight. Because too strong sunlight will cause the jasmine branches to be dehydrated and growth will be hindered. We should place it in semi-shade to avoid direct sunlight.
8. Appropriate fertilization During the growth process of jasmine branches, appropriate fertilization is also very necessary. We can apply fertilizer to the jasmine branches every other week or so to ensure that they receive enough nutrients.
9. Regular watering and cuttage Jasmine branches require appropriate water to support their growth. We should water the jasmine branches regularly, and the amount of water each time should be moderate, not too much or too little.
10. Pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases During the growth of jasmine branches, pests and diseases are common problems. In order to ensure the healthy growth of jasmine branches, we need to pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases, and regularly spray pesticides and fungicides on jasmine branches.
11. Maintain the appropriate temperature The appropriate temperature for the growth of jasmine branches is between 20-25 degrees Celsius. During the post-cutting process, we need to pay attention to maintaining a suitable temperature to prevent the jasmine branches from being affected by too low or too high temperatures.
12. Timely pruning of jasmine branches During the growth process, regular pruning is needed to maintain their beautiful shape. When pruning, pay attention to leaving some new buds and leaves to ensure that the jasmine branches continue to grow healthily.
13. Increase the light intensity During the growth of jasmine branches, it is also very necessary to appropriately increase the light intensity. We can move the jasmine branches to a brighter position so that they can get more sunlight, which is conducive to the growth of the jasmine branches.
14. Be careful not to soak for too long. When watering, we need to be careful not to soak the jasmine branches for too long to avoid causing them to rot. Generally speaking, watering time should not exceed 15 minutes at a time.
15. In general, cutting African jasmine is not a difficult task. You only need to master the correct methods and techniques to succeed easily. In the process after cuttage, we need to pay attention to maintaining appropriate temperature, humidity and light, regularly fertilize and water, and pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases. I believe that as long as you follow the above steps, you will be able to successfully cut African jasmine and let this beautiful flower bloom in your yard.
