1、 Blade

The difference between tiger head jasmine and Pearl Jasmine is first reflected in the leaves

The branches of Jasmine are relatively thin, and the leaves are small and round without leaf tips. Generally, it grows with single leaves facing each other. If there are more leaves on some branches, there may be opposite leaves

Jasmine is a shrub, which can grow to about one meter high. Although the branches are also thin, they have edges and corners and sometimes fluff, all of which are single leaf opposite. The leaves are generally oval, but also broad egg shaped. The leaves are slightly wrinkled. The meridians on the leaves are obvious. The petiole is short with an upward arc. If you look carefully on the petiole, you will find that there is a very short pilose

2、 Flowers

Another difference between the two is that they have different kinds of flowers

The normal flower of Jasmine has more than 50 petals, flat and round buds, and the flowers are large, up to more than 3cm, but sometimes they can't open completely. Jasmine has enough fragrance, and you can smell it even if it is far away

At the beginning of summer, Baozhu Jasmine grows new shoots from leaf axils and cymes at the top. There are 3 to 9 flowers, usually only 3 to 4. The Corolla is milky white and also very fragrant. Most varieties of jasmine have a flowering period of 6 to 10 months, from early summer to late autumn, while some are deciduous. The flowering period is in winter, from November to march of the next year

3、 Nurture

There are also great differences in their cultivation

It is estimated that there are genetic defects in tiger head jasmine, which makes it more difficult than ordinary jasmine to wait and propagate by cutting. Tiger head can not be re cut. Re cut may not germinate new branches, and the whole branch will wither seriously

Baozhu Jasmine has serious overgrowth and should be pruned frequently, but it must not be cut when the temperature is low. The cut mouth is easy to be invaded by bacteria. Disinfect the wound in time even if it is not trimmed in winter. Under the same conditions, it is much easier to cultivate Baozhu jasmine. The branches cut during pruning in spring can be used to cultivate new plants. In contrast, the branches of tiger head are more difficult to survive

This is the difference between the two. I hope readers can also enjoy the fragrance of flowers and have a good mood
