Jasmine flowers are extremely fragrant when blooming and are raw materials for scented tea and essential oils. Moreover, jasmine has the function of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. The flower language of jasmine is purity, nobility, and innocence. Many poets throughout history have described jasmine, such as Xu Kai from the Song Dynasty, who wrote, "The child is hot in the middle, clear as ice and snow flowers. Rooting in the moon plate, driving a chariot of seven fragrances." This shows the general love for jasmine.
Methods for cultivating jasmine:
1. Choosing soil is the first step and also the most important step. Jasmine prefers soil that is breathable, well-draining, and rich in organic matter. You can mix clay soil, sandy soil, and humus soil in a ratio of 2:1:1, lay a layer of coarse particles at the bottom of the soil to enhance breathability and drainage.
2. Jasmine likes moisture, is not resistant to drought, and fears waterlogging. When watering, master the timing and amount of water. In spring, water consumption is not high, water every 2-3 days; in summer, which is the peak blooming period, water twice a day, morning and evening; in autumn, reduce the amount of watering, water every 1-2 days; in winter, control the amount of watering, keeping the potting soil moist is enough, water every 5-7 days.
3. Jasmine can tolerate high temperatures, fears the cold, and has poor cold resistance. 32-37°C is the suitable temperature for the buds to open.
4. Jasmine loves the sun and can be placed in a sunny place to absorb nutrients. It is necessary to shade promptly when the sun is strong in summer.
5. Repot every 1-2 years. When repotting, do not remove the roots, water thoroughly, place in a shaded area to recover growth, and pay attention to loosening the soil.
6. Jasmine likes fertilizer. During the germination period, apply a thin liquid fertilizer that has been composted every 7-10 days. In autumn, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Stop fertilizing in late September. After each fertilization, promptly loosen the soil to help the roots grow better.
7. Common pests of jasmine include red spiders and scale insects; common diseases include white rot disease. Pests can be treated with a concentration of 25% triazole tin wettable powder at 1000-2000 times; white rot disease can be promptly cleared by removing the diseased plant residues and destroying them.
