Key Points for Fertilizing Jasmine
Do you know these? Knowledge about growing jasmine at home, key points for fertilizing jasmine, the following is a detailed sharing.
Fertilizing should not be done according to one's mood, whenever one feels like it. For example, fertilizing jasmine in spring, winter, and autumn is not suitable, while summer is relatively suitable. Below are some key points for fertilizing jasmine summarized by gardening enthusiasts:
1. Jasmine should not be fertilized excessively in spring, as the temperature is low and unstable. After fertilizing, it is difficult for jasmine to absorb the nutrients, and the remaining fertilizer in the potting soil can soak and corrode the roots of the jasmine, easily causing root rot.
2. As the temperature rises in summer, the new branches of jasmine will differentiate and develop flower buds. At this time, start fertilizing jasmine, and as the flower buds grow, bloom, and mature, gradually increase the amount of fertilizer to make the jasmine flourish with more flowers and leaves.
It is important to note: Do not fertilize when the potting soil is not dry, as fertilizing in moist soil can easily cause root rot in jasmine.
3. In autumn, fertilizing jasmine should be controlled. In Wuhan, after the White Dew in the lunar calendar, my family strictly avoids fertilizing jasmine (it is recommended that gardening enthusiasts also avoid fertilizing).
4. Watering jasmine during the winter should be controlled, and fertilizing would be equivalent to putting jasmine in a deadly situation. Jasmine has a natural dormant habit during winter, relying on the branches and leaves to store nutrients. Therefore, pruning the branches and leaves of jasmine in autumn and winter is not allowed. Until new buds of jasmine sprout the following year, no fertilizer should be given to jasmine during this period. Fertilizing at this time is harmful and has no benefits! Jasmine's growth is weak at low temperatures, and its root absorption function is low. The applied fertilizer cannot be absorbed and decomposed, and the fertilizer left in the potting soil can corrode the roots. Fertilizer-borne bacteria can侵蚀 the roots, leading to root rot and causing the plant to fail to survive the winter. Many friends have suffered losses due to this issue of fertilizing, and the reason why some jasmine plants do not last long is also due to improper fertilization.
