A little knowledge of life, introducing whether it is good to keep jasmine at home and the feng shui considerations of planting jasmine in the aspect of green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce it to everyone.
Preface: Mentioning jasmine always reminds people of a fresh kind of flower that is fragrant and beautiful. Just like a song says, "What a beautiful jasmine, the flowers are full of fragrance, and nine out of ten people praise it when they see it."
Jasmine not only gives people a fresh feeling, but the flowers can also be used to make tea. Often drinking jasmine tea can make people feel refreshed and keep their appearance youthful. Keeping a pot of jasmine at home is like placing natural aromatherapy, making people feel comfortable.
But is jasmine really suitable for keeping at home? Why do many people say it's not suitable? Actually, this is not superstition, but for "health". What does it mean exactly?
Jasmine is not suitable for indoor cultivation at home for its health
Insufficient indoor sunlight: Jasmine is a sun-loving flower that enjoys plenty of sunlight, even in the summer with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. However, if there is not enough sunlight, jasmine will exhibit excessive growth, reduced flowering, and flowers that lack fragrance.
If you like to keep jasmine indoors, it needs to be placed in a sunny location, such as the south balcony or the south windowsill of your home. Providing the sunniest spot for jasmine will prevent excessive growth and ensure that the flowers are abundant and fragrant. If there is insufficient sunlight at home, it is truly not suitable to keep jasmine.
Poor indoor ventilation: Jasmine prefers a well-ventilated environment. If the ventilation is poor, especially in the hot summer, after watering, it is easy to have high temperatures and high humidity. In this situation, jasmine can easily suffer from black rot or root rot, or develop diseases, easily leading to poor growth and even withering and dying.
If you like to keep jasmine indoors, you need to ensure good ventilation, which means opening the windows often in the morning or evening to promote air circulation. Alternatively, keeping the doors open can also help with better ventilation, preventing high temperatures and high humidity.
Is it good to keep jasmine at home?
Using organic liquid fertilizer can make the indoor smell strong: During the growing season, jasmine especially loves fertilizer because it blooms for a long time and can bloom several times a year. If fertilizing is insufficient, jasmine will not grow well and will not bloom.
However, if chemical fertilizers are used, it can lead to soil compaction around the jasmine, poor root aeration, and poor growth of the plant. But if organic liquid fertilizer is used, it can easily cause small black flies or a strong odor. Combined with poor indoor ventilation, this can make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is not suitable for keeping at home. This is not superstition but for health.
If you like to keep jasmine indoors, you can repot it once every spring, adding decomposed manure to the soil during repotting. The soil used can be a mix with more peat. This type of soil has its own fertility, and with some additional fertilizer in the soil, it is sufficient to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate during the growing season of jasmine, and organic fertilizer is not necessary.
Jasmine is not suitable for keeping at home for the health of the family
Although jasmine flowers are fragrant and beautiful, with a jade-like bone and ice-like muscle, its refreshing scent is pleasant, and using the flowers to make tea is beneficial for health and beauty. However, the fragrance of jasmine is very strong, and keeping it in a sealed room for a long time is not conducive to human health.
Especially in the bedroom, the strong fragrance can affect sleep. Moreover, jasmine also absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide at night, which is not good for human health.
If you have a strong preference for jasmine, you can keep it on the balcony or in the living room. The bedroom is not suitable for keeping jasmine, as there is too little sunlight, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant. Moreover, the closed environment of the bedroom, combined with the strong fragrance of jasmine, is also unfavorable for health.
