By following four "small techniques", jasmine can grow with lush branches and abundant flowers, and can survive for more than ten years.
Jasmine is favored by many people, but some may keep it alive but not thriving. Then, some may ask, are there any maintenance tips for growing jasmine, and how to make it grow continuously and bloom uninterrupted? There are effective techniques in growing jasmine, and the key lies in maintenance.
One. Soil preparation
Soil preparation is crucial when growing jasmine because the soil is the home of the roots. The soil stores nutrients and supplies them to the roots, which absorb them and then transmit them to the entire jasmine plant to make it grow and bloom. Therefore, we must prepare nutrient-rich, loose, and well-draining soil. A mixture of nutrient-rich soil and river sand in a 1:1 ratio is ideal. You can also use a mix of decomposed leaf soil, granular soil, and river sand, as long as it is well-draining and nutrient-rich.
Two. Using the right fertilizer
We know that jasmine has a characteristic of continuous growth and blooming. If you want it to grow and bloom, you must choose the right fertilizer. Using a fertilizer with only nitrogen will cause it to grow branches but not bloom. Therefore, we should choose a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium with other elements, which promotes blooming and also prevents a deficiency in other elements. Make sure to maintain a proper fertilizing frequency, at least 2-3 times a month, to ensure sufficient nutrients for rapid growth and blooming.
Three. Sufficient lighting
Jasmine is a sun-loving plant and requires plenty of light. Insufficient light can cause the branches to grow excessively and fail to bloom because it can only differentiate flower buds under sufficient light. Place it in the sunniest spot in all seasons to ensure good root growth, large leaves, and strong stems with abundant flowers.

Four. Timely pruning
Jasmine blooms on new shoots that grow to two or three sets of leaves, then produce flower buds and bloom. After flowering, if you do not prune, it will grow new shoots from the top two leaves and bloom again, making the entire plant larger and the shape loose and unattractive. Therefore, prune the branches after flowering, leaving one or two pairs of leaves at the bottom. Trim off the small branches and the suckers at the bottom. Prune the dense inner branches to improve ventilation. Proper pruning will concentrate nutrients on the remaining strong branches, ensuring sufficient nutrients for abundant blooming and an attractive plant shape.
By paying attention to these four points and doing them well, you can make the jasmine grow well, bloom more, extend the blooming period, and remember! After a year of growing, you should repot the jasmine. The new pot should only be one size larger than the original one. Ensure good ventilation, and your jasmine can bloom continuously for ten years, only getting better and becoming a large, old plant. Each bloom can fill the pot with hundreds of fragrant flowers!
