Jasmine plant cultivation methods and skills
A brief knowledge sharing article on the cultivation methods and skills of jasmine and the correct maintenance methods for green plants. Below, the editor will provide you with detailed answers.
Jasmine flowers have a very strong fragrance. If you grow a lot of flowers, it can bloom continuously throughout the year. It is a flowering plant with a long blooming period and a pleasant scent. So how can we grow jasmine at home to make it thrive and bloom continuously throughout the four seasons? Today, Xiaoqi will tell you about it.
When growing jasmine, we must remember to choose a soil with good breathability. Some experienced gardeners directly use garden soil for cultivation, which is fine in the early stage, but may cause soil compaction later on, especially in unventilated indoor conditions, which can easily lead to root rot. Therefore, it is appropriate to add half river sand or coal cinder granules to the soil to increase its breathability and water permeability, thus preventing problems. Use a shallow pot instead of a deep one, and change the potting soil every year to ensure no issues.
The second point is to ensure sufficient sunlight, as jasmine is a sun-loving plant. If placed in a dark room, it may grow too tall without flowering. However, if you want it to bloom, you must provide it with adequate sunlight, as only sufficient sunlight can ensure continuous blooming. Without light, it will not flower.
The third point is watering and fertilizing. How should we water jasmine? It cannot be short of water, as a lack of water can lead to dry roots and the entire plant may wilt. Generally, when watering, if the soil is breathable, water the soil surface until it is dry for 2 to 3 centimeters, then water thoroughly. This way, it will not lack water and no problems will occur. Fertilizers should also be chosen correctly. Since jasmine keeps growing and flowering continuously, if you want it to bloom multiple times, do not use pure monopotassium phosphate, as it only contains phosphorus and potassium without other elements. Long-term use can result in yellow leaves and stunted growth. It is better to choose a fertilizer with high phosphorus content and no lack of other elements, such as Huaduo No. 2, applied 2 to 3 times a month, which can ensure it does not lack other elements and gets enough phosphorus for continuous blooming.

The fourth point is to prune properly. After each blooming period, we need to prune the plant by cutting off the weak and lower branches, leaving only the thick ones. Shorten the thick branches by cutting 2 to 3 pairs of leaves from the last pruning position. This will make the plant compact and prevent the branches from growing too long. Flowers will grow from the pruned position, producing two or three lateral buds, resulting in many flowers and easy to fill the pot.
Jasmine is very easy to grow. If you follow Xiaoqi's advice, your jasmine can bloom multiple times a year, each time in full bloom without yellow leaves or other issues.
