Jasmine Plant Care Tips and Management Methods
This article introduces you to the care tips and management methods of Jasmine plants. Let's take a look together!
Jasmine Plant Care Tips and Management Methods
For soil preparation, you can mix garden soil, manure, and fine sand, or mix garden soil, decayed leaf soil, river sand, or coal slag. To improve alkaline soil, a small amount of sulfur powder can also be added. Jasmine is neither drought-tolerant nor waterlogging-tolerant, and watering should be done rationally according to the season and plant condition. Jasmine has a long blooming period and requires a large amount of fertilizer, so the soil must maintain sufficient fertility.
1. -- Jasmine Pot Selection --
Caring for flowers starts with choosing a pot, and there are many materials available for pots that are suitable for Jasmine.
The most ideal pot is the ceramic pot, which has good breathability and water permeability, suitable for Jasmine's preference for moist and breathable roots.
In addition to ceramic pots, modern plastic pots also have reasonable designs with more drainage holes at the bottom, although the pot walls are not breathable. Pay attention to watering and they can also be used. Moreover, plastic pots are relatively inexpensive and are one of the more commonly used pots.
The pot should not be too large or too small, generally, the diameter of the pot should be slightly smaller than the crown.
2. -- Jasmine Soil Preparation --
Jasmine prefers fertile, loose, and slightly acidic soil with sandy or semi-sandy loam being the best.茉莉花 does not adapt well to poor, heavy, and alkaline soil.
Therefore, the cultivation soil preparation should be rich in organic matter with good drainage and breathability.
For soil preparation, you can mix garden soil, manure, and fine sand, or mix garden soil, decayed leaf soil, river sand, or coal slag. A small amount of sulfur powder can also be added to improve alkaline soil.
3. -- How to Pot Jasmine --
The best time to pot Jasmine is between April and May every year, before new branches sprout. You can purchase suitable Jasmine plants for potting.
First, cover the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot with a piece of tile to aid in drainage and aeration, or you can place a layer of small stones as a drainage layer.
Then, cover the tile with an appropriate amount of nutrient-rich soil, place the Jasmine plant in the center of the pot, hold the plant with one hand, and fill the soil with the other. When half of the soil is added, slightly lift the plant to make the roots spread out and ensure the soil and roots are fully contacting.
Then continue to fill the soil, but do not overfill the pot. Cover the soil up to the root collar. After covering, press the soil slightly with your hands and then water thoroughly.
After that, place the Jasmine in a well-ventilated shaded area to acclimate, and after 7-10 days, gradually expose it to direct sunlight.
4. -- Jasmine Watering --
Jasmine is neither drought-tolerant nor waterlogging-tolerant, and watering should be done rationally according to the season and plant condition. In spring, from April to May, water thoroughly every 2-3 days. When the buds are just formed, reduce watering to promote a strong plant and uniform blooming.
In summer, when Jasmine is in full bloom, it should not be short of water. Generally, water twice a day, morning and evening. In addition to regular watering, spray water on the leaves and surrounding ground every day to cool down and increase humidity.
In autumn, as the weather cools down, gradually reduce the amount of watering. Before bringing it indoors in winter, water thoroughly, and after moving indoors, reduce the frequency of watering, only watering when the surface of the potting soil is dry.
5. -- Jasmine Fertilizing --
Jasmine has a long blooming period and requires a large amount of fertilizer to maintain soil fertility and ensure many flowers.
Organic liquid fertilizer is best for Jasmine, such as decomposed chicken, pigeon, pig manure, or soybean, vegetable, and peanut cakes.
Before Jasmine sprouts in spring, apply a thick fertilizer to promote new branches. When new shoots start to sprout, the fertilizer should not be too thick, generally a water-fertilizer ratio of 9:1, diluted 10 times, and fertilize every 7-10 days.
Before茉莉花 blooms, you can slightly increase the concentration of the fertilizer, preferably using a higher content of fertilizer.
After blooming, follow the normal fertilizing schedule. After the flowering period, as the weather cools down, fertilizing should be gradually reduced to avoid excessive growth, which is not conducive to wintering.
6. -- Jasmine Pruning --
Jasmine flowers grow on new branches, and a new branch produces a flower. To promote more flowering, branches should be pruned to stimulate more new growth.
Jasmine pruning can be done from spring to before winter. To ensure good ventilation and aeration, dense, weak, and overly long branches should be pruned in time.
After each flowering, the flower stems and dense branches should also be pruned to promote the growth of axillary buds and more lateral branches.
