How to prune jasmine to make it bloom
This article introduces the pruning methods of how to make jasmine bloom and the illustration of pruning methods for green plants and flowers. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
Nowadays, jasmine has basically bloomed once, and pruning has become a top priority. If you want to grow jasmine well, you must learn to prune. The growth process of jasmine is a process of continuous pruning, topping, fertilizing, and sunbathing. If you don't know how to prune jasmine, it can only bloom once or twice a year, and the rest of the time it blooms sporadically.
Jasmine pruning should be divided into several stages. One is post-blooming pruning, which involves cutting off the remaining flowers after each bloom, then fertilizing, which will quickly produce new flower buds. Another type of pruning is winter or spring pruning, which is used to control the shape of the plant and has a lot to do with blooming next year.
First, post-blooming pruning
In summer, it is mainly the season for jasmine to bloom, and post-blooming pruning is particularly important. After the jasmine has finished blooming, you can cut the branches short, keeping two buds on each branch, and do not keep them too long.
Because its new buds will grow four or five pairs of leaves, that is, four or five nodes, and then bloom again. If kept too long, the plant shape is more likely to be scattered and unattractive. Keeping two buds can also save nutrients and promote more new branches.

Of course, pruning jasmine can also be done according to your preferred shape, as long as the purpose of cutting branches and promoting new growth is achieved. After pruning, be sure to fertilize promptly to replenish the nutrients consumed during the last bloom in preparation for the next bloom. The first application of fertilizer should be a balanced fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, or organic fertilizers such as soybean cake fertilizer.
About half a month later, it will grow three or four pairs of leaves and start to form flower buds, at which point you can apply monopotassium phosphate or Flower多多 No. 2 to promote flowering. If handled properly, jasmine can bloom four or five times a year during the growing season, with many large flower buds and a strong fragrance. Pruning is the key to growing good jasmine.
Second, early spring pruning
Jasmine actually needs to be pruned heavily in spring, reducing the relatively thick branches by 2/3, leaving only 1/3, and pruning off the inner branches, dense branches, parallel branches, and crossed branches, so that the new buds grow neatly and look good. A few leaves should be left for photosynthesis as spring is the season of growth for all things.
This type of pruning is very helpful for the roots and stems of jasmine. In spring, with the appropriate temperature, the new buds will quickly form flower buds, bloom neatly at the same time, and achieve the effect of blooming in abundance. This also shows the importance of pruning.
