How to grow jasmine? Cultivation methods and precautions, needs to be moved indoors in winter

SummaryLight: Jasmine loves sunlight and needs plenty of light during its growth; provide appropriate shade in summer to avoid direct sun. Soil: It is suited to growing in slightly acidic soil. Watering: After planting, water thoroughly once, known as "settling water"; when jasmine blooms in June, it needs a large amount of supplemental water. Fertilizing: Fertilize jasmine from late spring to early autumn, and apply more phosphorus fertilizer during the flowering period. Pruning: In spring, cut off dead branches and old branches; after blooming in summer, prevent leggy growth. Note: Jasmine is afraid of the cold, so it needs to be moved indoors in winter.

I. Plenty of Light

1. Jasmine loves sunlight and needs plenty of light during its growth.

2. Direct sunlight is fine in spring, autumn and winter; if it does not carry out photosynthesis for a long time, jasmine's leaves will become very sparse and the flowers will have little fragrance.

3. The midday sun in summer is too strong, so provide appropriate shade to avoid direct sunlight.

II. Improving the Soil

1. Jasmine is suited to growing in slightly acidic soil. When planting, you can make your own potting soil by mixing garden soil, compost, sand and plant ash in a ratio of 4:4:2:1; the best time to pot it up is in April-May.

III. Reasonable Watering

1. After planting jasmine, water it thoroughly once, known as "settling water", then place it in a shaded spot for care.

2. After it blooms in June-July, you can water it normally.

3. When new branches sprout in spring, water generally once every two days; when jasmine blooms in June, it needs a large amount of supplemental water, so water it every day; in winter you need to control watering, and simply keeping the potting soil slightly dry is enough.

IV. Reasonable Fertilizing

1. Generally, fertilize jasmine from late spring to early autumn; during the flowering period, apply fertilizer containing more phosphorus, once about every 3 days. You can use fermented soybean cake or fishy water fertilizer liquid, and you can also use superphosphate, but the concentration should not be too high, otherwise it can easily burn jasmine's roots.

V. Timely Pruning

1. Before jasmine begins rapid growth in spring, be sure to cut off dead branches and old branches; this helps promote the growth of other newly sprouted branches.

2. After jasmine finishes blooming in summer, promptly shorten the branches that have finished flowering to prevent leggy growth from stealing the plant's nutrients.

VI. Precautions

1. Temperature: Jasmine is very afraid of the cold; generally before Frost's Descent, move jasmine indoors to a sunny spot for care. The indoor temperature must not be lower than about 8°C; if the temperature is too low, you need to cover jasmine with a plastic bag, which can help keep it warm. Be sure not to let jasmine be hit by strong wind, otherwise it will affect jasmine's blooming.

2. Ventilation: Most cases of pests and diseases in jasmine are caused by improper ventilation. If you care for jasmine indoors, it is best to often move jasmine to a ventilated place for care; if you care for it in a room with no ventilation for a long time, jasmine is more likely to suffer from various pests and diseases.
