What are the key points for growing jasmine?
Below is an introduction for netizens about the key points for growing jasmine and the related green plant care methods for African jasmine cultivation. Next, the editor will introduce to everyone.
Jasmine is considered quite easy to grow, but many gardeners encounter problems such as root rot or leaf rot, and even situations where the seedlings do not grow. In fact, jasmine is very easy to care for; we just need to pay attention to the following points.
Firstly, when growing jasmine, it is essential to have good soil. Many gardeners directly use garden soil for planting, which can easily accumulate water and cause root rot. Garden soil can easily become compacted, and once compacted, it is difficult to water thoroughly, resulting in poor growth. Therefore, when growing jasmine, it's best to use soil with good breathability. We can mix garden soil with river sand, or use river sand and nutritious soil in a 1:1 ratio, which provides good drainage and does not lack nutrients. This way, there will be no issues growing jasmine. It is best to choose a smaller pot for growing jasmine, as a large pot with too much soil can stay moist for too long after watering, which is not good.
The second point is to provide it with plenty of sunlight, as jasmine is a sun-loving flower. Both growth and flowering require sunlight. If there is insufficient light, the plant may grow too tall and thin, and the branches may easily bend. The leaves will also be small. If there is a lack of sunlight during care, the plant may only grow branches and not bloom, which severely affects flowering. Therefore, no matter the time of year, whether spring, summer, autumn, or winter, it is essential to provide it with plenty of sunlight.
The third point is to water and fertilize appropriately. Jasmine is very susceptible to drought, and the entire plant will wilt if it is too dry, causing damage to the roots. Our watering principle is generally to water thoroughly when the potting soil is half dry. As long as the soil is breathable and the surface is dry, timely watering will not cause any problems. This ensures that the plant has enough water for normal growth. Since it grows and blooms throughout the year, when choosing fertilizer, it is best to choose one with a high content of phosphorus and potassium, as well as other essential elements, such as "Flower More No. 2," applied 2-3 times a month. This provides sufficient nutrients to ensure normal flowering. However, do not use pure potassium phosphate, as it only contains phosphorus and potassium and lacks other elements, which can lead to stunted growth after a period of time due to the lack of other elements.
If you want to grow jasmine well without any problems, you should follow these points: provide reasonable sunlight, use well-draining soil, regularly supply water and fertilizer, and try to ensure good ventilation. After flowering, prune the branches promptly, removing the small and weak ones and leaving only the strong ones. If the strong branches are too long, prune them appropriately to promote rapid sprouting and the formation of flower buds. As long as we maintain an indoor temperature of 15 degrees Celsius or higher, it can grow and bloom normally. It is a very easy-to-grow plant with a strong fragrance when flowering.
