How to Prune Jasmine
Main text introduction: This is an introduction to how to prune jasmine plants, and let's learn about it together.
How to Prune Jasmine
Jasmine can be pruned heavily around the time of Qingming Festival, removing all old leaves, and after new buds sprout, retain 1-2 new shoots on the tender branches, pruning 0.5 cm above the new buds. After each jasmine flower fades, remove the faded flowers and the two pairs of leaves below to promote branching and encourage blooming again. During the growing period, prune any overly long, weak, or diseased branches.
Jasmine Pruning Time
Jasmine can be pruned three times a year. The first is in the spring growing period to promote vigorous growth and flowering. The second is after the flowers have faded, around August to September, to reduce nutrient consumption. The third is during the winter dormancy period, which helps it grow stronger.
Jasmine Pruning Method
1. Heavy pruning in spring
Jasmine can be pruned heavily from late March to around Qingming Festival, removing all old leaves, and after new buds appear on the branches, retain 1-2 new shoots, pruning 0.5 cm above the new buds with a flat cut. After heavy pruning, new buds will appear on the jasmine branches, and any poor-quality new buds should be removed by hand. When the new branches show a tendency to overgrow, the overgrown branches should be topped, retaining only 1-2 pairs of leaves to promote branching.
2. Pruning after flowering
Jasmine has a long flowering period. After each batch of flowers fades, remove the faded flowers and the two pairs of leaves below to promote branching and encourage reblooming.
3. Pruning at any time
During the growing period of jasmine, if there are any overly long or瘦弱 branches, they should be pruned at any time, removing the weak and retaining the strong. If there are branches with pests or diseases, they should be pruned immediately to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
