Jasmine flowers are delicate and exquisite, pure white as snow, with bright green leaves and a strong fragrance, making them beloved by flower enthusiasts. In summer, Jasmine blooms abundantly and looks very beautiful. Many flower enthusiasts successfully cultivate Jasmine in pots at home, but some new gardeners are not successful, unsure of when to plant Jasmine seeds and what the planting method is. Let's discuss the issue of planting Jasmine seeds below.
I. Planting Time
Planting Jasmine is generally done between February and May in the spring. Of course, there is a temperature difference between the north and south regions, so the planting time is not strict and can be adjusted according to local temperatures. Planting Jasmine too early or too late is not advisable, as it can affect the normal germination of the seeds and their later growth.
II. Planting Method
1. Prepare the Seeds
Choose plump seeds that have not been attacked by diseases or pests, and avoid using old seeds. Some old seeds may look normal on the outside but are difficult to germinate.
2. Prepare Potting Soil
The soil should be fertile, loose and breathable, with a higher content of humus, and a slightly acidic pH value. Sandy soil is best. Many flower enthusiasts choose garden soil, river sand soil, and decomposed leaf soil, and add some organic fertilizer to grow Jasmine, which is very good. After preparing the nutrient-rich soil, place a layer of small pebbles at the bottom of the pot before planting, which is beneficial for plant growth.
3. Germination Treatment
Before planting, the seeds need to be treated for germination. First, prepare a basin of warm water at about 35 degrees Celsius and soak the seeds in it. Once the seed coat softens, the seeds can be taken out. After controlling the moisture in the seeds, they can be planted.
4. Planting
After the soil is placed in the pot, sprinkle some water on the surface to keep the soil moist. After arranging the soil slightly, planting can be done. The seeds should be evenly spaced and not too dense, with a depth of about 2 centimeters. After planting, cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil about 1 centimeter thick.
5. Good Management
After planting, cover the soil surface with a layer of plastic film to retain warmth and moisture, maintaining a temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius around the pot. After some time, the seeds will germinate. Once the seeds have germinated, the film can be removed, and normal maintenance can be continued.
