Daily maintenance of jasmine flowers

If you want jasmine to be fragrant and white, the most important detail you can't ignore is daily maintenance

1. Big sun exposure

There is a popular saying among flower friends, which is called "Jasmine that can't be exposed to the sun". That is to say, jasmine is not afraid of the sun exposure at all. Even if the temperature is soaring to 40 ℃, jasmine continues to be exposed to the sun on Nanyang platform, and the more it is exposed to the sun, the more fragrant it blooms. Therefore, we must ensure that Jasmine has at least 5 hours of light every day

2. Water more

The premise of keeping Jasmine in the sun all day is to give it enough water. Don't let Jasmine stand the rain when it rains. The temperature is high in summer. Jasmine must be watered at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. If the leaves of Jasmine are found curly, it is short of water and must be watered in time

3. More fertilization

Summer is the peak season of jasmine flowering. Usually, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied, such as peanut cake fertilizer, bone meal fertilizer, etc. About 2-3 times a month. In addition to fertilization, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can also be sprayed on the plant to promote more pregnant buds and more flowers of jasmine

4. Watering with ferrous sulfate or vinegar

Jasmine is a flower that likes acidic soil, but the soil in the north is generally alkaline, so it often causes the problem of yellow leaves of jasmine. In order to restore the yellow leaves of jasmine to green, it is necessary to add 0.1% ferrous sulfate or 0.3% vinegar when watering. Watering the roots once every 5-7 days can avoid the yellow leaves of jasmine

Pruning of jasmine flowers

Pruning is essential to make jasmine Blossom more. Whether for the pruning of dead branches, stumps and bare branches, or the pruning of branches after flowering, it is a very important aspect

1. Post flower pruning:

The high temperature in summer is conducive to the flowering of jasmine. If it can be trimmed in time after flowering, the trimmed Jasmine branches will soon sprout new buds and give birth to new flower buds. Pruning can start with 3-4 pairs of leaves under the flower, which can reduce unnecessary nutrient consumption

before trimming:

after trimming:

more than half a month after flower trimming:

2. Pruning of diseased branches, weak branches and bare long branches:

Jasmine Flowers generally open at the top. Therefore, some diseased branches, weak branches and bare branches that usually grow out of jasmine should be cut off in time to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption, so that Jasmine can have more lateral branches, so as to produce more flowers

Jasmine flowering cutting

Usually, the jasmine branches we cut down, especially the branches after flowering, are used for cutting, but the survival rate is very high

1. For cutting branches, we must choose semi lignified and robust branches. It is best to choose flowering branches, and the survival rate should be higher

2. The branches shall be cut short, and the incision shall be cut obliquely at an angle of 45 °. At least one pair of leaves shall be reserved on each branch that needs cutting, which is conducive to photosynthesis

3. Cutting can be carried out with disposable paper cups. Make a small hole at the bottom of the paper cup to facilitate drainage, then fill the paper cup with sand, insert the trimmed Jasmine cuttings into the sand, press with your fingers and pour water once. Just put a spike in a cup

4. Place the disposable paper cup in a place with sufficient scattered light for maintenance, and pay attention to frequent watering. After about 40 days, the cuttings of Jasmine can take root

5. Put the rooted Jasmine in a basin. The basin soil can choose the slightly acidic nutrient soil to dredge and ventilate, and can be made into nutrient soil with garden soil, perlite and sand in the ratio of 3:1:1

6. After pouring into the basin, pour water once, put it in a cool and ventilated place for curing for a week, and then transfer it to the sun for normal curing

7. Before long, the cuttings of jasmine seedlings can sprout new buds
