How to take care of Jasmine in May
The editor introduces how to take care of Jasmine in May and the detailed maintenance precautions for Jasmine in May, a green plant and flower introduction. Next, the site editor will introduce to the netizens.
Speaking of the flowers that bloom the strongest in summer, Jasmine is undoubtedly the one. On the green branches with vibrant leaves, tiny flower buds the size of rice grains pop out, gradually swelling to the size of soybeans as they grow, and then blossoming into pure white flowers. As the flowers open, a strong fragrance is released from the center of the flowers, filling the house and yard with the scent. In May, as summer begins, Jasmine also enters its blooming season. To make it bloom in full bloom, it is necessary to do "1 fertilizer, 2 more."
1 Fertilizer: Correct fertilization
Generally speaking, common flower varieties will enter a semi-dormant state in the high temperatures of summer to avoid the heat, reduce flowering, and slow down the growth of branches and leaves. However, Jasmine is an exception. The hottest summer is its growing and blooming season. The hotter the weather, the more lush and abundant the flowers. To meet the growth of Jasmine, we need to supplement it with nutrients through regular fertilization.
After entering May, when fertilizing, it is important to use less nitrogen-rich fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium-rich fertilizers. For fertilization, we can use a combination of solid organic fertilizer and liquid water-soluble fertilizer:
Solid Organic Fertilizer
Solid organic fertilizers can include: decomposed cow dung, sheep dung, soybean cake fertilizer, chicken manure, fruit peel fertilizer, and other organic fertilizers. These fertilizers contain more nitrogen, but also contain a lot of phosphorus and potassium elements, making them suitable as a base fertilizer for Jasmine. A small amount of fertilizer should be buried in the flower pot once a month, but remember to use only a small amount and not to overdo it.

Liquid Water-Soluble Fertilizer
On the basis of using solid organic fertilizer, additional liquid water-soluble fertilizer should be applied to Jasmine. Water-soluble fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate and Huaduo No. 2, are mainly used. Taking potassium dihydrogen phosphate as an example, mix the fertilizer powder into water at a ratio of 1:1000, stir well to make a fertilizer solution, and water the roots of Jasmine and spray the branches and leaves with the solution, using it 2-3 times a month.
1 More: More sun exposure
As the saying goes, "Jasmine that can't be sunburned," Jasmine is famous for being不怕晒 (not afraid of sun exposure). Even though the sun in summer is very hot, there is no need to worry about getting sunburned. There are many flower buds hidden in the branches of Jasmine, and to develop these flower buds into flower buds, long periods of strong sunlight are needed as a "catalyst." Without strong sunlight, not only will the number of Jasmine flowers decrease significantly, but even if a few flowers are opened, the quality of the flowers will not be high, with very small petals and a faint fragrance.
Jasmine is not afraid of sun exposure. Quickly move its pot to the strong sun. If possible, try to keep it outdoors. If it can only be maintained at home, it should be placed in a well-lit position such as a south-facing balcony or window sill.
