Main text core guide: Knowledge about the division technique of French perfume vine flowers, let's get to know it together next.
In March, it is officially the rhythm of spring. For flower enthusiasts, spring is the best time to repot various potted plants. However, for some cold-sensitive potted plants, it is recommended to wait a bit longer until it gets warmer before repotting. Today, I want to talk about how to divide and plant French perfume vines, as well as the management issues during maintenance.
French Perfume Vine Division Techniques
As a藤本 plant, the French perfume vine has the natural habit of twining growth, and most of the French perfume vine seedlings on the market are planted together. Now that spring has come, how should we divide the French perfume vines? We need to look at several situations.
1. -- Seedlings with No Twining Branches --
For French perfume vine seedlings that have not yet developed twining branches, dividing them is simple. Just take them out of the pot, find the main stem of each plant, and directly break apart the soil clump to achieve division.
2. -- Medium Seedlings with Some Twining --
French perfume vine medium seedlings usually come with a climbing frame with hooks, and the branches are relatively longer. Some branches grow around the hooks of the climbing frame, while others are partially intertwined with each other.

Facing such French perfume vine seedlings, many flower friends feel at a loss when dividing them, afraid of breaking the branches or not knowing how to remove the climbing hooks. In fact, it's very simple. First, cut off the clips at the bottom of the climbing frame, all three of them, and it will be easy to pull out the climbing hooks from the top.
After removing the hooks, observe the roots and find the plants that are well-separated. Grab the base and separate the soil clump. Some roots will inevitably be damaged during the division, but in spring, this impact is not significant. After separation, plant them with soil in new pots.
For the branches that are intertwined and cannot be separated, just cut them off without regret, because French jasmine needs to be pruned frequently to promote branching and blooming more.
3. -- Large Seedlings with Severe Twining --
If it's large seedlings with severe intertwining, there are only two choices: one is to prune and then divide, which many flower friends will not want to do. Alternatively, you can skip division and plant them directly in a larger pot or in the ground, giving them more room to grow. With proper fertilization and watering, they can also grow well.
How to Make French Perfume Vine Bloom More?
French perfume vines smell wonderful when in bloom, and many flower friends hope that they will bloom more. We need to understand that as a climbing plant, French perfume vines can grow very tall, meaning the branches can get very long. However, French perfume vines bloom at the top of new branches, so to have more blooms, we need to promote branching, not just long branches.
Therefore, after the French perfume vines finish blooming, the branches that have just finished flowering should be cut short. If there is no more climbing space, they can even be cut to 15-20 cm high to promote new branching from the base.
In addition to pruning after flowering to promote branching, during the growing period, branches can easily grow too long, which requires timely topping of new branches to promote more branching. This way, more flower buds will be produced in the autumn and winter.
For plants grown in the ground, topping is not necessary, but it is recommended to do some pruning after flowering because, over the years, the branches of French perfume vines can age and require new branches to replace them. Moderate pruning makes it easier for new branches to sprout from the base.
