How to grow potted Jasmine plants well
Jasmine potted plants can be quite demanding, especially for gardeners in the north, who need to bring them indoors for the winter. When caring for Jasmine in the north, be sure to bring them inside when the temperature drops to around 5 degrees Celsius. Keep the plant in a location with at least 3 hours of sunlight per day and allow the soil to be slightly dry. In the following spring, move the pot outdoors when the temperature stabilizes above 16 degrees Celsius.
Jasmine is one of the most common flowering potted plants. Its flowers are elegant and white, the branches and leaves are lush and green, and it has a refreshing flower fragrance. It is a worthy choice for a good variety of potted plants for the home.
However, some friends say that Jasmine is difficult to grow. Either no flowers appear, or the flower buds fall off after a few days, or the plant is not in a healthy condition...
In fact, there are methods to grow Jasmine plants well. Jasmine has its own preferences and dislikes. Once understood, it becomes much easier to care for, and it often achieves the effect of a blooming pot.
First, the growing medium:
The soil for planting Jasmine should be a mixed soil. Check if the soil bought from a flower shop is yellow clay or a mixture of coconut fiber and perlite. Both are not suitable for home care of Jasmine.
It is recommended to mix 1/3 of garden soil, humus soil, and river sand to make the native soil, and then add 1/5 of perlite. When planting, bury some sheep manure organic soil at the bottom of the pot.
Second, the environment for planting Jasmine:
Jasmine loves sunlight and can tolerate some shade. As long as the temperature does not exceed 32 degrees Celsius, it can be cared for in a well-lit environment.
If the temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius, ventilation should be enhanced and appropriate shading provided. When the temperature drops below 10 degrees, it can be brought indoors for the winter. Continuous zero degrees for a week can completely freeze the Jasmine. It is best to choose a north-south orientation to maintain good ventilation.

Third, watering method:
Well-cared-for Jasmine branches are semi-vining and can grow quite tall. There are two methods for watering:
Water based on the moisture of the growing medium. When the surface of the medium is dry about 3 centimeters, it's time to water. However, in spring and winter, you can extend the drying time of the medium for 3 to 5 days before watering. In summer and autumn, you can water in the afternoon after the sun sets.
Usually, you can mist the leaves twice a day in the morning and evening. In hot and dry seasons, mist 3 to 5 times to cool and humidify the environment.
Fourth, fertilizing method:
When we wash rice, we can collect some rice washing water, pour it into a plastic oil barrel, and place it on the balcony for about 15 days for fermentation.
When the temperature is between about 18 and 30 degrees Celsius, we can fertilize the Jasmine once a month by diluting the rice washing water with water at a ratio of 1:3 and浇透watering thoroughly.
A month before the flowering period of Jasmine, you can use a 1200 concentration of monopotassium phosphate solution to fertilize the leaves, continuously for three times, each time spaced a week apart.
Fifth, pruning:
Jasmine plants will grow adventitious buds at the base and in the crown from time to time. We need to remove these basal and adventitious buds to reduce nutrient consumption. After the crown grows, different heights can block sunlight and hinder ventilation.
Prune the high branches to allow reasonable spacing between the branches of the crown. After flowering, prune the remaining flowers and the vigorous branches.
