Winter jasmine, also known as Spring Festival, Jasminum giraldii, golden belt, has deciduous shrubs.
It is fragrant, golden yellow and reddish outside. The flowering period is from February to April.
This paper introduces the maintenance methods of potted Jasminum nudiflorum and the key points of making bonsai of Jasminum nudiflorum.
How to maintain potted winter jasmine?
The conservation and management of winter jasmine has the following aspects.
Planting environment: Newly changed pots or newly planted Jasminum nudiflorum should be watered for 65,438+00 days, then placed in a semi-shady and semi-sunny place, and maintained in a ventilated, sunny and humid place after one week.
Watering: Yingchun likes wet environment.
In hot summer, you should always spray water on the ground.
Yingchun is afraid of water in the basin. During the rainy season, the basin should be placed in a rain-proof place or shelter.
Fertilization: During the spring growth period, apply 1-2 decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer every month.
It is best to apply 1 times decomposed rare organic liquid fertilizer at the early flowering stage.
During flower bud differentiation, liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus should be applied.
Plastic surgery: during the growing period, you should always pick your heart, cut off some branches appropriately and keep the tree shape.
Pest control: There are few pests and diseases in the Spring Festival, and the common one is red spider, which should be eliminated in time.
How to propagate winter jasmine by dividing plants, layering and cutting?
Jasminum nudiflorum can be propagated by various methods such as plant division, layering and transplanting.
The ramets are generally divided into spring and autumn, and the early spring is the most suitable before the flower buds germinate.
Layering or cutting should be carried out about one week after flowering.
When layering, you should first cut the cortex of the buried branch with a knife to take root.
Cuttings can be carried out directly in open space or in hotbeds. Two-year-old robust branches with the length of 15-20cm should be selected for cutting. When 1/3 branches are buried in human soil, they can take root in 2-3 weeks, and when the young roots change from white to yellow-brown, they will be transplanted.
The winter jasmine used for bonsai can choose plants with simple and vigorous roots that have grown for many years. Before planting, the plants should be trimmed and reshaped 1 time, and the cut roots can be selected for cutting. After survival, it can be planted in a small pot, which becomes an ornamental miniature bonsai.
Winterflower bonsai making
The bonsai of winter jasmine is mainly made by digging holes in the field and artificially cultivating thick old piles.
Because it is resistant to pruning and has strong germination.
Therefore, when the plant grows to a certain design requirement, it can be pruned again to cut off the terminal buds and cultivate a crown with a certain shape.
Or through certain shaping and pruning, the basal buds of the roots can be removed at any time to promote more branches and flowering.
In this way, we can gradually cultivate a simple and vigorous bonsai of winter jasmine.
According to the growth characteristics of winter jasmine, the branches should be pruned again, except one branch.
The reserved branches sometimes need to be cut short to cultivate semi-cliff and cliff bonsai.
The spring support can also be coiled into a circle, a semicircle, a fan, etc.
In order to make the branches of Yingchun grow taller, you can insert bamboo poles beside them to support them to grow taller.
After growing to a certain height, removing the top and fixing the stem can form a drooping arch crown.
