When do spring jasmines bloom?
This article provides a detailed introduction to when spring jasmines bloom and a brief overview of their flowering period for green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together!
Spring jasmines are a relatively common type of flower with high ornamental value, symbolizing life, hope, vitality, and the pursuit of beautiful things. So, in which season do spring jasmines bloom? How can we take care of them to extend the blooming period? Let me tell you here.
I. In which season do spring jasmines bloom?
Spring jasmines bloom in spring, with their flowering period in early spring, approximately from February to April. As their name suggests, they bloom early, and once their flowers open, spring arrives. The flowers are single, with a golden yellow color, singly growing on branches and having a pleasant fragrance. The flower buds are leaf-like, shaped like ovals, ellipses, or lanceolate leaves, which have a certain ornamental value.
II. How to take care of spring jasmines to extend the blooming period?
1. Fertilization
It is well known that plants need a lot of nutrients when flowering, so when potting, we can place a base fertilizer under the soil or mix a small amount of organic fertilizer into the soil. Although we cannot apply top dressing, to ensure the effective extension of the flowering period, we can apply one or two artificial mature organic fertilizers or liquid fertilizers before flowering, being careful with the concentration each time, not using too high a concentration, just a dilute solution. This not only makes the color of the spring jasmine flowers more vibrant but also effectively extends the flowering period. Do not fertilize during the flowering period.
2. Temperature
Spring is a season of fluctuating temperatures. To maintain a suitable temperature, we can move the potted plant indoors or cover it with a layer of insulating film. Moving it indoors to a room temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius will allow it to bloom in about two weeks. This not only ensures that spring jasmines bloom beautifully but also effectively extends their flowering period, lengthening our viewing time, achieving two benefits at once.
3. Watering
From before the flowering period to the actual flowering time, we should observe the moisture level of the potting soil and water it 1-3 times as needed. In the period before spring rains, we can water frequently to maintain a moist soil environment. However, it should be noted that spring is the growing and flowering season, and we should not apply top dressing, as it may lead to excessive growth. To promote flowering, we can spray clear water on the branches and leaves with a spray bottle once a day, without watering too much.
4. Pruning
To maintain a good tree shape, spring jasmines need to be pruned regularly. Spring jasmines have a strong growth force, and regular pruning of new shoots has no adverse effects. During the growing period, we can perform pinching and prune the excessively long flowering branches to prevent the upper branches from becoming weak and unable to bear flowers. Select some branches for shortening, and cut off all the weak branches to promote the sprouting of new branches.
