Main content introduction: This is a green plant flower introduction on how to care for jasmine and the planting methods of jasmine. Detailed content will be shared next.
Jasmine is considered an easy-to-care-for plant, but many gardening enthusiasts still encounter problems, such as root rot, leaf rot, or even stagnant growth. In fact, jasmine is very easy to care for, and we only need to pay attention to the following points.
Firstly, when growing jasmine, it is essential to use good soil. Many gardeners directly use garden soil for planting, which easily leads to waterlogging and root rot. Garden soil can also easily become compacted, and once compacted, it does not absorb water well, leading to poor growth. Therefore, when growing jasmine, it's best to use soil with good breathability. We can mix garden soil with river sand, or use river sand and nutrient-rich soil in a 1:1 ratio, which allows for good air and water penetration without lacking nutrients, ensuring no issues arise when growing jasmine. It's best to choose a smaller pot for jasmine, as a larger pot with too much soil can stay wet for too long after watering, which is also not good.
The second point is to provide it with sufficient sunlight, as jasmine is a plant that requires a lot of sunlight. Both growth and flowering are inseparable from sunlight. If it lacks light, the plant may exhibit etiolation, with thin and long branches and a tendency to bend. The leaves will also be small, and without sufficient light during the care process, it may only grow branches and not bloom, severely affecting flowering. Therefore, regardless of the time of year, whether spring, summer, autumn, or winter, it must be provided with plenty of sunlight.
The third point is to water and fertilize appropriately. Jasmine is very susceptible to drought, and during dry periods, the entire plant can wilt, damaging the root system. Our watering principle is generally to water thoroughly when the potting soil is half-dry. As long as the soil is breathable and the surface is dry, watering promptly will not cause problems. This ensures that the plant has enough water for normal growth. Since it grows and blooms throughout the year, when choosing fertilizer, it is best to select one with high phosphorus and potassium content, but also containing other elements, such as "Flower多多 No.2," applied 2-3 times a month. This ensures sufficient nutrients for normal flowering. However, do not use pure potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which only contains phosphorus and potassium, lacking other elements. After a period of time, this can lead to stagnant growth due to the lack of other elements.
To grow jasmine well without any issues, you need to follow these points: provide appropriate sunlight, use well-draining soil, regularly supply water and fertilizer, ensure good ventilation, and prune the branches promptly after flowering, removing the small and weak ones and leaving only the strong ones. If the strong branches are too long, they should be shortened appropriately to promote rapid sprouting. After sprouts appear, they can quickly develop flower buds and bloom. As long as the indoor temperature is maintained above 15 degrees Celsius, it can grow and bloom normally. It is a very easy-to-care-for plant with a strong fragrance when in bloom.
