Many people like to raise jasmine because it blooms very fragrant flowers, with a large number of flowers and a long blooming period. The maintenance is relatively simple. If you want to raise it well, proper pruning and frequent trimming will help the plant grow from a small seedling to an old stake. The old stake jasmine has many branches, and when it blooms, it is very spectacular. Today, let's talk about pruning jasmine.
Firstly, let's talk about the young seedlings. Pruning young seedlings is very simple because they are small. After they bloom the first batch of flowers, prune them promptly. This is the method of pruning jasmine. After the flowers have finished blooming, keep 1-2 pairs of leaves at the bottom and cut off the top. After this, it will quickly grow new buds from the top two leaves, usually 2-3 buds at a time. These new buds will become flower buds and will bloom after reaching a certain height.
When pruning after flowering, it is important to also prune the thin branches, the suckers at the bottom, and the dry branches on the stems. Only keep the thick and strong branches so that the nutrients can be concentrated, resulting in better flowers with large size, fragrance, and a long blooming period. By consistently pruning after flowering, the main stem at the bottom will gradually become thicker after some time. After a year or two, it will quickly turn into an old stake jasmine.
For the old stake jasmine we maintain, during the maintenance process, it keeps growing and flowering, and some branches will naturally wither. This is because some old roots are no longer functioning, affecting the branches connected to them. When you notice withered branches, cut them off promptly after flowering. If the cut wound is fresh and the branch is thick, you can apply some fungicide to the top of the branch, or directly apply a healing agent to prevent further withering. The pruning method for the remaining branches is the same as that for young seedlings, pruning promptly after flowering to ensure enough lateral buds for more flowers.
How to prune the branches and leaves of jasmine
This is the pruning method for both old stake and young seedling jasmine. Mastering it will ensure your jasmine grows lush and blooms spectacularly. The maintenance of jasmine is very simple. Provide plenty of sunlight because it is a sun-loving plant. Place it in a well-lit area and supplement it with fertilizer regularly. Choose a fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium, without lacking other elements, such as "Flower More 2," applying it 2-3 times a month. Water thoroughly when the soil surface is dry by about 1-2 centimeters.
This way, our jasmine will grow well and bloom abundantly. After a year or two, change the potting soil or directly move it to a larger pot to prevent the roots from becoming overgrown and the plant from becoming stagnant. This way, we can raise jasmine successfully.
