How to prune jasmine to make it bloom most vigorously
For most people, knowing how to prune jasmine to make it bloom most vigorously and the basic knowledge of caring for jasmine during winter are important. Next, our site editor will introduce the following to everyone.
Jasmine is a flowering plant that many people are raising. Firstly, it is relatively inexpensive and comes in many varieties. Secondly, it is easy to care for, so many people buy a pot to raise at home, smell its fragrance, and watch it bloom. However, although jasmine is easy to raise, mastering skills is necessary for abundant blooming. Since the jasmine we buy comes with flowers in the early stage, we can also make it bloom one or two times at home. But later, the leaves may turn yellow, the growth may weaken, or it may even stop blooming. In fact, it is very simple. Remembering to prune it properly is also very important, as there are two "principles" of pruning that you need to learn.
1. Pruning after flowering
We know that after each flowering,茉莉花 needs to be pruned promptly to allow it to grow enough lateral branches so that it will bloom more each time, becoming more and more abundant. Generally, after茉莉花 finishes flowering, we should keep two to four leaves from the last pruning position and cut off the top. This way, it can quickly grow two or more lateral branches, and these lateral branches will bloom at the top after they grow. This is the method of pruning after flowering. So if your jasmine is small, you should prune it frequently to let it grow more lateral branches. After the canopy is full, you can let it bloom directly, and it will be able to bloom abundantly each time. You should also prune in this way after each flowering is completed, which will make it bloom more and more.
2. Severe pruning
If茉莉花 is only pruned short after flowering, its lateral buds will grow more and more, but during the growth of lateral buds, some branches are very weak, and some branches are crossed inside. Due to the shading of the upper leaves, they grow thin and long without forming a flower bud. Therefore, during pruning, we should also give it severe pruning. It is generally recommended in spring and winter. In the northern regions, the temperature is very low in winter, and it does not grow. At this time, we should give it severe pruning, cutting off the thin branches, weak branches, internally crossed branches, and the buds growing from the bottom.
Only retain the thick and strong branches, keeping them at a certain height. After this pruning is completed, what remains are thick and strong branches. In the end, when it enters winter, it will stop growing, and with low temperature, it will consume less nutrients. Since we have pruned it, it can safely pass through the winter, and by spring, it will quickly grow enough new buds, which will bloom after they grow.

The second method of severe pruning is in spring because some gardening friends have a warm environment, such as living in a building where the temperature can be maintained above 15 degrees. Therefore,茉莉花 is also blooming in winter. It is recommended that everyone gradually prune after spring warming. Since spring is when everything grows and blooms, what we need to do is severe pruning, cutting off the short branches and the internally crossed and weak branches, only retaining the thick and strong branches. After entering spring, supplementing it with sufficient fertilizer will make it quickly grow new branches, which will bloom after they grow.
This is the two principles of pruning茉莉花: one is pruning after flowering, and the other is severe pruning. Analyze your own care situation appropriately. If you only prune it after flowering, its branches will grow too much, and the pot will be too small to supply enough nutrients, which may eventually lead to yellow leaves and stunted growth. This requires us to do severe pruning periodically during care, pruning every year or so and changing the pot to a larger one with new soil, allowing it to get enough nutrients to grow quickly. This way, it can bloom beautifully every year. Also, remember that it prefers acidic soil, so you need to adjust the soil periodically to ensure it remains acidic and iron is not deficient, such as regularly watering with ferrous sulfate.
In daily care, make sure there is sufficient light. If there is a lack of light, you will find that its branches grow long and thin without blooming. Fertilizer also needs to be chosen correctly because it is a plant that blooms again after the first bloom, and the branches need to grow to a certain height. This requires us to use fertilizer with a high phosphorus content and no lack of other elements, such as "Flower More No. 2". It is best to sprinkle some slow-release fertilizer or fermented cow dung or sheep dung on the surface of the potting soil. This way, it can get enough nutrients to grow quickly and bloom after growing branches.
