A beautiful jasmine, fragrant and beautiful full branches. Jasmine, also known as jasmine, fragrant soul, Mo Li flower and no beauty, is native to China and India, and is a straight or twining shrub of the Oleaceae family. Jasmine is usually cultivated in pots at home. When cultivating potted jasmine, attention should be paid to the selection of soil texture, proper lighting, watering, fertilizing, pruning, and the prevention and control of diseases and pests.
I. Soil
Jasmine prefers well-drained and ventilated slightly acidic sandy soil rich in organic matter. It can be mixed with garden soil, compost, and river sand in a ratio of 4:4:2, then mixed with decomposed dried cake residue to make culture soil, and a small amount of broken tiles or broken bricks should be covered at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate drainage.
II. Lighting
Jasmine prefers a semi-shaded environment. When the sunlight is too strong in summer, it should be properly shaded, either by setting up a small shed with shading cloth or by placing it in a room with sufficient scattered light for cultivation. In winter, when it is warm at noon, it should be taken outdoors to receive sunlight to prevent the plants from lacking sunlight, which may cause poor growth and yellow leaves.
III. Water
Jasmine likes moisture and is not resistant to drought, so it requires a lot of water but fears waterlogging. Therefore, more attention should be paid to watering. Water can be poured twice a day, in the morning and evening in summer, to keep the soil moist. Water once every 2 to 3 days in spring and autumn to keep the soil moist, and once every 5 to 7 days in winter to keep the soil slightly moist. However, do not water too much to avoid waterlogging in the pot, which may cause the roots to rot in the accumulated water.
IV. Fertilizing
Jasmine is a plant that likes fertilizer and has a long flowering period, so it has a high demand for fertilizer. During the flowering period from June to September, liquid fertilizer with high phosphorus content should be applied every 2 to 3 days, such as fishy water or fully decomposed soybean cake fertilizer solution. Fertilization should be thin and frequent, applied near the root when the soil is half-dry.
V. Pruning
After the flowering period of jasmine, a pruning should be done to remove the residual flowers and weak, dense, and徒长 branches from the branches to make the jasmine look beautiful and promote the germination of new basal buds.
VI. Diseases and Pests
When jasmine is infected with sheath blight, the infected part of the plant will turn brown and rot, the bark is easy to peel off, and there is a white silky mycelium on the surface. The diseased part should be cut off and destroyed in time, and treated with carbendazim. When jasmine is affected by red spider mites, it can be sprayed with dicofol.
