Potted soil

Potted jasmine requires that the soil is rich in organic matter, has good air permeability and ventilation performance, and can be used in fertile and slightly acidic sandy soil.

Fertilize soil or land

Jasmine likes fertilizer, so the potted soil should maintain sufficient fertility.

The high temperature world in summer is the peak of jasmine growth. At this time, it should be fertilized more, twice a month. In summer, if the tender shoots of jasmine are flourishing but don't bloom, it is because of excessive fertilization that the plants grow white. In this case, it is necessary to control water and fertilize so that it can germinate in time, and pay attention to moving jasmine to a sunny and well-ventilated place to breed.

water

Jasmine is not drought-tolerant, so it needs more watering. However, when summer is hot, it is forbidden to accumulate water in the basin, otherwise it will lead to root rot of plants. In rainy season, the flowerpots should be dumped in time to prevent water accumulation. It is hot in summer, so water it every morning and evening 1 time. If the leaves are found to be curled, water should be sprayed on the leaves in time to promote growth and development.

illuminate

Jasmine likes to grow in a humid, warm and sunny environment. Compared with the cold, jasmine in the south can directly overwinter outdoors, while those in the north should pay attention to keep warm, and indoor potted plants should be placed in the south-facing position in winter.

When the light is strong, the leaves of jasmine will be dark green, the branches will be thick, and the cultivated flowers will have good color and strong fragrance.

breeding method

In China, jasmine is generally propagated by cutting, layering and dividing plants.

Cutting should select mature 1 annual branches, cut them into 10 cm length, remove the lower leaves, bring a pair of complete leaves at the top, insert them into a bed of equal amount of mud and sand, and cover them with plastic film to maintain high air humidity.

Long-branch layering should be selected, slightly cut at 15 cm, preferably at the lower part of the node, buried in a basin filled with sand and mud, kept moist, began to take root after 2 ~ 3 weeks, and cut from the mother plant to become seedlings after about 2 months.

Dividing plants can be combined with changing pots every spring, peeling off dense branches of jasmine and potted separately. When dividing plants, roots and branches and leaves of aboveground parts can be trimmed appropriately.

Matters needing attention in jasmine cultivation

Plastic trimming

Jasmine grows very fast in summer, so it needs pruning in time.

The pruning of potted jasmine made its base between 10 cm and 15 cm, which promoted most stout new shoots. If the new shoots grow vigorously, they should be removed when they grow to 10 cm, which will lead to more flowers and compact plant types. After the flowers wither, the branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption, which is also conducive to promoting the growth of new shoots, making jasmine flowers with dense branches, more buds and more flowers. ?

Common pests

The common pests of jasmine are: Cicada, Cicada, Citrus Gray Elephant, Red Spider and so on.

These pests usually feed on leaves, twigs, flowers and fruits, which are very harmful to the growth of jasmine plants. Everyone must take more protection in the process of maintenance. It can be sprayed with universal powder or pyrethroid and 200 times of water once every half month, even if there are no pests and diseases, so as to prevent problems before they happen. The suitable spraying time is 9: 00 am and 4: 00 pm on sunny days.
