Its beautiful plant shape and fresh fragrance add a touch of vitality to the home environment. It is not easy to raise a pot of iron jasmine. This article will introduce in detail the maintenance methods of bonsai iron jasmine and help you create a green scenery at home. Light iron jasmine prefers semi-cloudy environments and avoids direct strong light. During the maintenance process, it should be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light, such as living room, study, etc. When high temperatures in summer, it should be properly shaded to avoid sunburn on the leaves. Watering iron jasmine likes to wet the environment, but avoid waterlogging. When watering, the principle of "seeing wet when dry" should be followed to keep the soil slightly moist. When the temperature in winter is low, the number of watering should be reduced to prevent roots from rotting. Fertilization Iron Jasmine requires sufficient nutrition during its vigorous growth period. Compound fertilizer is generally applied once a month. During the peak growth season, the number of fertilization times can be appropriately increased to promote plant growth. After fertilization, water should be promptly carried out to prevent fertilizer from burning leaves. Pruning iron jasmine grows quickly and needs to be pruned regularly to maintain a beautiful plant shape. During pruning, sick and weak branches, dead branches and excessively dense branches can be cut off to promote ventilation and light transmission of the plant. The pruned branches can be used for cuttage propagation. Temperature The suitable growth temperature of iron jasmine is 15-30℃. When the temperature in winter is lower than 5℃, the plant needs to be moved indoors to keep warm. When the temperature is high in summer, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling to avoid high temperature diseases in the plant. Pest and insect pest control Common pests and diseases in iron jasmine include aphids, red spiders, etc. When pests and diseases are discovered, pesticides must be used in time to control them. The plants must be kept ventilated and transparent to reduce the probability of occurring pests and diseases. Breeding methods There are two main breeding methods of Iron Jasmine: dividing and cuttage. Planting is suitable for plants that have been growing for many years. New plants that have been tilled can be planted separately. Cutting is suitable for branches that are growing vigorously. Select healthy branches for cuttage, and plant them separately after taking root.
