How to cultivate Jasmine
Compared to the common knowledge of green plant flowers such as how to cultivate Jasmine and the cultivation techniques of potted Jasmine for most people, the following will introduce you to this aspect.
Jasmine usually blooms from the end of spring to autumn. If not properly managed, it may bloom only once a year; if well managed, Jasmine can bloom continuously. After each flowering, they need to rest for a period of time before blooming again.
After blooming, it is important to剪掉 the faded flowers in time, usually only剪掉 the faded flowers and the two leaves below them. After flowering, it is necessary to supplement fertilizer promptly, combined with a warm and humid environment, providing sufficient sunlight every day and timely补充 water, it can grow and bloom quickly.
1. Variety
Friends who have raised Jasmine varieties not only include the common Jasmine, but also the 'Grand Duke of Tuscany' with larger flowers and more petals, as well as the unique 'Pen Tip Jasmine'. The maintenance methods are almost the same, and in fact, as long as the environment is suitable, any variety of Jasmine is very easy to bloom.

2. Light
Jasmine cannot be sunburned, even if it is newly bought home, placing it directly in a sunny area may cause leaf sunburn in the early stage, but as long as it continues to get more sun, the new branches and leaves will be particularly healthy.
This also indicates that if there is not enough sunlight at home, it is actually not recommended to raise Jasmine, it is best to ensure at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. In an outdoor environment, Jasmine will grow better, especially in the southern regions where it can be used as a landscaping plant.
How to cultivate Jasmine
In the summer, when the temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, Jasmine can be exposed to more sunlight, the more sunlight it gets, the better the fragrance of the flowers. If it is cloudy and rainy, even if there are flowers, they will not have much fragrance.
3. Watering
Jasmine needs to be watered once a day during the summer blooming period when the light is particularly abundant. Sometimes, if the potting soil dries up very fast, it may need to be watered twice a day. Potted Jasmine in summer should ensure timely water supplement in a well-lit environment, and should not let it lack water or keep the soil constantly moist.
Here is a reminder for everyone, some friends who buy Jasmine and plant it with some garden soil or potting soil, the soil basically does not absorb water after it is completely dry, and water immediately flows out from the bottom of the pot when watered. This is not watering thoroughly, and the immersion pot method should be used to water it thoroughly, which is to prepare a basin of clear water and place the potted plant in it for 15-20 minutes to let it absorb enough water, then take it out to drain the excess water.
4. Dividing Plants
If the Jasmine you bought is planted with many plants in a small pot, be sure to divide and repot them later. It is best to repot in spring and autumn, planting each plant in a small pot for better management and avoiding 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 necessary to supplement fertilizer regularly, especially during the flowering period. As long as the temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, you can supplement fertilizer every week, preferably a water-soluble fertilizer with a high content of phosphorus and potassium, such as 'Flower More No. 2' or monopotassium phosphate, and it is best to alternate the use of both fertilizers.
In addition, it is important to supplement acidic fertilizer regularly, which can be done by mixing ferrous sulfate with citric acid, supplementing once a month, or using chelated iron or alum fertilizer water, also supplementing once a month to avoid soil alkalinity. Jasmine is a typical acid-loving flower, if the soil is alkaline, it will not bloom and the leaves will turn yellow continuously.
