Jasmine, I believe that every flower lover is not unfamiliar with it. Its flowers are white and its leaves are small and green. The fragrance is strong and pleasant, making it one of the world-famous flowers. There are many varieties of jasmine, among which the tiger head jasmine is known as the "beauty ceiling in jasmine."
Compared with other varieties, tiger head jasmine has a longer blooming period, larger flowers, more petals, and a complex and elegant flower shape with a rich fragrance, making it sought after by countless jasmine enthusiasts. However, the maintenance difficulty of tiger head jasmine is also higher, more difficult to care for than ordinary varieties. After entering autumn, flower lovers must remember four points and do a good job in maintenance to keep the tiger head jasmine healthy, and make the flowers bloom as beautiful as peonies next year.
1. Pay attention to pruning
After entering autumn, the jasmine will finish the last wave of flowers for the year. Generally speaking, before moving it back indoors, flower lovers will prune a large number of branches of the jasmine to facilitate management after moving it indoors. This operation is fine for ordinary varieties, but not applicable to tiger head jasmine.
When pruning tiger head jasmine in autumn, it is not suitable to prune too much or too heavily at once. Tiger head jasmine blooms one flower at a time, and the flowers fade slowly one by one. We need to prune the faded flower branches after each flower fades. Cut off the remaining flowers and the branches and leaves below them, making sure not to leave the branches too short. The remaining branches should have at least 6 leaves to allow the tiger head jasmine to perform photosynthesis and accumulate more energy for the winter.
How to care for the tiger head jasmine in autumn to make it bloom vigorously
When pruning, if you see weak branches or diseased branches, they should be pruned. If small buds appear at the bottom of the branches, they should also be removed by hand. The temperature in autumn is very low, and these small buds cannot grow into strong branches, so keeping them would only consume nutrients.
Use fertilizers cautiously
The root system of the tiger head jasmine variety is very "delicate." Compared to ordinary varieties, its roots are more sensitive to fertilizers. If the concentration is not properly controlled, it can easily cause root burn and eventually lead to plant death. Jasmine is a warm-loving plant, and its growth will stop when the temperature is below 10 degrees. Therefore, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees, flower lovers do not need to fertilize anymore.
Keep indoor ventilation
The "delicate" nature of the tiger head jasmine root system is not only about the concentration of fertilizers but also its high requirement for air ventilation and soil moisture. If the pot is placed in a room that is too airtight with poor ventilation, it is difficult for the moisture in the pot to evaporate quickly after watering. Excessive accumulation of moisture inside the pot can easily lead to root rot.
