Jasmine usually blooms from late spring to autumn. If not managed properly, it may bloom only once a year. If managed properly, Jasmine can bloom continuously. After each blooming, they need to rest for a while before blooming again.
After blooming, it is important to cut off the remaining flowers promptly, usually just cutting off the remaining flowers and the two leaves below the flowers. After blooming, it is necessary to supplement fertilizer in time, combined with a warm and humid environment, providing ample sunlight every day, and supplementing water in time. It can grow and bloom quickly.
1. Variety
In addition to the common Jasmine variety that friends have grown, there is also the 'Grand Duke of Tuscany' Jasmine with larger flowers and more petals, as well as the unique 'Pen-tip' Jasmine. The care methods are almost the same, and as long as the environment is suitable, any Jasmine variety is very easy to bloom.

2. Light
Jasmine cannot be sunburned, even if it is newly bought and placed directly in a sunny area, the leaves may suffer sunburn in the early stage, but as long as it continues to get plenty of sun, the new branches and leaves will be very healthy.
This also indicates that if there is not enough sunlight at home, it is not recommended to grow Jasmine. It is best to ensure at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day. In an open-air environment, Jasmine will grow better, especially in the southern region where it can be planted as a landscaping plant.

In the summer, when the temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, Jasmine can be exposed to the sun as much as possible. The more abundant the sunlight, the better the fragrance of the flowers. Even if there are flowers during rainy days, they won't have much fragrance.
3. Watering
During the summer blooming period, Jasmine requires watering once a day under the strong sunlight, and sometimes even twice a day if the potting soil dries up very quickly. It is important to supplement water in time in a well-lit environment and not let it lack water, nor keep the soil constantly moist.
Here's a reminder for everyone, some friends may plant Jasmine using garden soil or potting soil, and once the soil is completely dry, it won't absorb water. When watered, the water immediately flows out from the bottom of the pot. This means it is not watered thoroughly. Use the soaking method to water it thoroughly, which is to prepare a basin of clear water, place the potted plant in it and soak for 15-20 minutes, let it absorb enough water, then take it out to drain the excess water.
4. Dividing Plants
If you buy Jasmine that has many plants in a small pot, you must pay attention to dividing and repotting them later. It is best to repot in spring or autumn, planting each plant in a small pot for better management and to avoid their roots growing together, which can later be trained into an independent trunk Jasmine potted plant.
5. Fertilizing
To make Jasmine bloom continuously, it is important to supplement fertilizer regularly, especially during the blooming period. As long as the temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, you can supplement fertilizer once a week, preferably water-soluble fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium content, such as Huaduo No. 2 or Monopotassium Phosphate, and it is best to alternate between the two fertilizers.
Also, pay attention to regularly supplementing acidic fertilizers. You can use Ferrous Sulfate mixed with Citric Acid, supplementing once a month, or use Chelated Iron or Fertilizer Water, also supplementing once a month, to avoid soil becoming too alkaline. Jasmine is a typical acid-loving flower. If the soil is alkaline, it will not bloom and the leaves will turn yellow continuously.
