The cultivation methods and precautions of winter jasmine include soil, light, watering, fertilization, pruning and shaping.

1, soil requirements

Generally speaking, the soil for cultivating winter jasmine should be loose, fertile and well drained, and the soil should be acidic. General alkaline soil is not conducive to the growth of winter jasmine.

2. Lighting requirements

Generally, before and after the Spring Festival every year, the winter jasmine should be moved indoors for maintenance. It is not necessary to ensure that the room temperature is around 15℃ and the flowers can only be seen after 15 days. Whenever the sun is hot and the temperature is high in summer, it is necessary to move the potted plants of winter jasmine to the semi-shade, which is more conducive to the growth of winter jasmine.

3, watering requirements

Winter jasmine likes humid environment, especially in hot summer. Generally, water it once every morning and water it properly in the afternoon. At the same time, in order to maintain a certain humidity in the environment, it is suggested that flower friends can often spray water on the ground.

In addition, winter jasmine is afraid of the water in the basin. Generally, in the rainy season, if it rains continuously, flower lovers can put down their flowerpots or move to a place where it doesn't rain. In winter, the temperature is low, water evaporation is less, and water is less.

4, fertilization requirements

When planting bonsai of winter jasmine, put some animal hooves at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. In the spring growing season, the decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied 1 ~ 2 times a month. July-August is the flower bud differentiation period of winter jasmine, so liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus should be applied to facilitate the formation of flower buds. For example, in the early flowering stage, applying a decomposed and thin organic liquid fertilizer can make the color gorgeous and prolong the flowering period.

5. Dressing and shaping

The germination ability of winter jasmine is very strong. In order to keep the tree shape, we should always pick the heart, cut off or shorten some branches during the growing period. After the flowers wither, the branches should be cut short, generally leaving only 2~3 buds, and the main branches can leave more buds appropriately. After the new branches are born, if they are properly maintained, the buds will be clustered.
