By mastering four "small tricks", jasmine can grow lush and flower abundantly, and can survive for more than ten years.
Many people like to grow jasmine, but some can't keep it alive, or can't grow it well. At this point, some may ask, are there any maintenance tips for growing jasmine, and how to keep it growing and flowering continuously? There are effective techniques for growing jasmine, and the key is in the maintenance.
I. Soil preparation
Soil preparation for growing jasmine is very important, as 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, allowing it to grow and bloom. Therefore, we must prepare nutrient-rich, loose, and breathable soil. You can use nutrient-rich soil mixed with river sand in a 1:1 ratio, which makes the best soil. You can also mix decomposed leaf soil, granular soil, and river sand, as long as it is breathable, water-permeable, and nutrient-rich.
II. Using the right fertilizer
As we all know, jasmine has a characteristic of continuous growth and flowering. If you want it to grow and bloom, you must choose the right fertilizer. If you only use nitrogen-based fertilizer, it will only grow branches and not bloom. Therefore, we should choose fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, as well as other elements, as these fertilizers promote blooming and prevent the lack of other elements, allowing continuous growth. Make sure to maintain the frequency of fertilization, using it at least 2-3 times a month, so that the plant can grow and bloom quickly with sufficient fertilizer and water.
III. Sufficient lighting
Jasmine is a plant that requires plenty of sunlight, as insufficient light can cause the branches to grow excessively and may result in no flowering. Only under sufficient lighting conditions can it differentiate flower buds. Throughout the year, regardless of the season, it should be placed in the sunniest spot to ensure good root growth, large leaves, and robust branches with many flowers.

IV. Timely pruning
Jasmine's flowering characteristic is that new buds grow tall, reaching two to three pairs of leaves, and then flower buds appear and bloom. After the flowers have bloomed, if you do not prune, it will grow new buds from the top two leaves and bloom again, causing the entire plant to grow larger and the shape to become loose and unattractive. Therefore, after the flowers have bloomed, prune the branches, leaving one or two pairs of leaves at the bottom. Also,剪掉 (cut off) the small branches and the suckers at the bottom. Prune the dense inner branches appropriately to increase ventilation. Proper pruning will allow the nutrients to be concentrated in the remaining robust branches, ensuring sufficient nutrients for flowering and producing more flowers, while also making the plant look better.
By paying attention to these four points and doing them well, you can make the jasmine grow well, produce more flowers, and extend the blooming period. Remember, after one year of growing, you should repot the jasmine, but don't make the new pot too large, just one size bigger than the original. Ensure good ventilation, and your jasmine will continue to bloom for more than ten years, only getting better and turning into a large, old tree. Then, each flowering can result in a full pot with hundreds of flowers and a rich fragrance!
