African jasmine is a plant with a strong aroma. It can not only be used to decorate gardens, but also extract essential oils and is widely used in cosmetics such as perfumes and body gels. However, the cultivation of African jasmine is also difficult and some details need to be paid attention to. The following will introduce the breeding methods and precautions for African jasmine.
Purchasing high-quality seedlings Purchasing high-quality seedlings is the first step to successfully cultivating African jasmine. You can choose seedlings with complete plant shape, dark green leaves, no pests and diseases, and pay attention to whether there are flower buds.
Choose the right soil African jasmine likes to grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Select mixed soil with sand and leaf soil as the main components for cultivation, and add appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil.
Reasonable fertilization of African jasmine has high nutritional requirements and requires regular fertilization. Compound fertilizers can be applied once every spring and autumn, and be careful not to overapply them to avoid damaging the plants.
Appropriate watering amount African jasmine is not drought-tolerant and needs to keep the soil moist. However, watering should also be done in moderation to avoid root rot due to excessive humidity. You can water it in the morning or evening, and it is advisable to water the soil thoroughly at a time.
Pay attention to pruning African jasmine flowers and leaves grow on the top of the branches, so they need to be pruned frequently. The flower branches can be pruned after the end of flowering to promote the growth of new buds.
Control indoor temperature African jasmine needs to maintain a warm environment, and the appropriate growth temperature is 20 ℃~28 ℃. You can choose to grow indoors and maintain air circulation.
Avoid direct sunlight Although African jasmine requires sufficient sunlight, too strong sunlight can cause damage to leaves and flowers. You can choose to cultivate in semi-shade.
Timely disinfestation African jasmine is vulnerable to aphids and mites. You can choose to use pesticides for prevention and control, but pay attention to rational use.
Preventing and controlling diseases African jasmine is vulnerable to diseases such as root rot and powdery mildew. Appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be added during the fertilization process to enhance the disease resistance of plants.
Regularly changing pots African jasmine grows rapidly and needs to be changed regularly. Pots can be changed once every spring, while paying attention to protecting root systems.
Flowering management The flowering period of African jasmine is generally in summer and autumn and requires timely management. You can pick residual flowers and dead leaves to keep the plants clean and promote the growth of new buds.
Pay attention to controlling humidity. African jasmine has high humidity requirements. You can place a hygrometer indoors to keep the humidity at around 60% to 70%.
Maintaining ventilation African jasmine needs to maintain air circulation to avoid the breeding of pests and diseases. You can choose to cultivate in semi-shaded places and often open windows for ventilation.
Winter conservation African jasmine needs to be maintained in winter. The plant can be moved indoors and the temperature can be controlled to avoid being affected by cold weather.
African jasmine is a beautiful flower. During the breeding process, attention should be paid to soil, fertilizer, moisture, temperature, light and other aspects. Only through reasonable management can we create beautiful gardens and harvest rich fruits.
