Does Windmill Jasmine Prefer Shade or Sunlight
Introduction: This article discusses whether windmill jasmine prefers shade or sunlight, as well as the aspects of green plants as outdoor flowers that are cold-resistant. Next, a comprehensive introduction will follow.
Can windmill jasmine be planted in a shaded area? — Speaking from facts and experience, let's enjoy flowers together. Windmill jasmine is a species of evergreen vines in the oleander family, with vines similar to honeysuckle. Its scientific name is络石 (Cheilocarpus), and it is also known as Wanzhi Jasmine or络石藤 in some places, which is a type of vines with elegant flowers and a fragrant aroma.
Windmill jasmine is a flower that prefers sunlight. If the cultivation environment is relatively hidden and lacks sunlight, the plant may easily exhibit the phenomenon of overgrowth. Therefore, during the growing period, it is best to expose the plant to more sunlight. It only needs to avoid strong sunlight exposure at noon in summer. Only when the plant is raised in a sunny area will its branches become thick and sturdy, produce more lateral branches to increase the number of flowers, and the sufficient sunlight environment will also make the fragrance of the flowers more rich. If the plant is planted in a shaded area, the branches tend to grow thin and long, the leaf nodes become elongated and the leaves are sparse, making it difficult to sprout lateral branches and reducing the amount of flower bud differentiation. Therefore, when planting in the ground, the plant should be planted in an area with sufficient sunlight, and potted plants can be moved to a slightly shaded area during the midsummer to avoid sun exposure.
Windmill jasmine is relatively tolerant to poor soil, as long as the soil layer is loose and deep, the plant will grow strong and bloom profusely. It only needs to apply fermented animal manure 1 kilogram or compound fertilizer 50 grams once in spring or after autumn every year. For potted plants, 2 to 3 grams of compound fertilizer can be sprinkled on the pot surface every month during the growing period, or some rice washing water or diluted water-soluble fertilizer can be applied with watering to strengthen the plant's flower bud differentiation function, ensuring continuous flowering of new branches.
Windmill jasmine is also particularly difficult to prune. Potted plants can also be pruned into a棒棒糖 shape. After the flowers bloom, the branches should be pruned short, and the new branches that grow out will bloom again. In addition, windmill jasmine is a very cold-resistant flower, and the ground-planted plants can withstand low temperatures of minus 18 to 20 degrees. Areas south of North China can basically be planted outdoors to overwinter.
