How to raise jasmine flowers to flourish
Jasmine is famous for its fragrance, but if you want it to flourish and bloom continuously, you need to master professional maintenance methods. This article will systematically explain the key points of jasmine flower conservation throughout the year, from soil improvement to flowering control. The five core skills for jasmine flower maintenance The acidic soil ratio plan recommends using a matrix formula of peat soil: humus soil: river sand =4:3:3, and replenishing ferrous sulfate solution (concentration 0.2%) once a quarter to maintain a pH value of 5.5-6.5. A 3-cm-thick ceramsite layer needs to be laid at the bottom of the potted plant to ensure water permeability and avoid stagnant water and root rot. Light control strategy Ensure direct light for 6 hours per day in spring and summer, and cooperate with sunshade nets to avoid strong light burns at noon. In winter, full sunshine is needed to be maintained in the south. Using a fill light to maintain 12 hours of light per day can promote flower bud differentiation. The water management cycle adopts the "see dry and wet" irrigation method, which is 3 days every time in spring and autumn, and once in the morning and evening in summer (06:00/18:00). Judge by tapping the basin wall: the crisp sound requires replenishment, and the dull sound is paused. Control water to 7 days per time in winter. Scientific fertilization plan Apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium balanced fertilizers (20-20-20) every 15 days from March to June, and use high-phosphorus and potassium fertilizers (10-30-20) to promote flowering from July to September. In late autumn, bone meal was applied to supplement trace elements, and fertilizer was stopped in winter. Remember to apply thin fertilizer frequently and the concentration does not exceed 0.1%. Trim and modeling technology Retract and trim immediately after flowers, leaving the base 2-3 sections. In spring, buds are smeared to retain the outer bud points, and combined with aluminum wire coil to create an umbrella-shaped/spherical plant type. Remove blind branches and cross branches in time to maintain ventilation and light transmission. Jasmine flowering cycle management The natural flowering period opens in three crops from May to August: the first crop lasts for 15 days in May, the second crop lasts for about 20 days in July, and the last crop is in early September. Flowering can be promoted in winter by controlling temperature (above 15℃ at night), replenishing light (extending to 14 hours/day), and increasing application of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
After mastering these maintenance points, the jasmine flower not only has a full plant type, but also blooms many times throughout the year. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record water, fertilizer, and pruning time, and dynamically adjust the management plan based on the plant status, so that the room is full of jasmine fragrance throughout the year.
