Flowers & Gardening 0 views
You must all be fairly familiar with the plant "jasmine", right? However, you may not have heard of the "Jasmine 'Grand Duke of Tuscany'". It is a plant of the Oleaceae family, Jasminum genus, a mutated variety. Because it is not very stable, it mutates again easily. It also has ornamental value, and this value is quite high, which we can easily see from its appearance. So, if you grow it, what do you need to pay attention to in winter?

1. The characteristics of this plant in winter

First, it likes to grow and develop in a relatively warm environment, and its cold tolerance is not very good. In winter, if the temperature drops below 5°C, it will suffer frost damage, and in severe cases may even die. Next is watering. Generally speaking, winter temperatures are relatively low, and even though its growth rate becomes very slow, its demand for water is correspondingly reduced quite a bit, so you can skip watering; even if you do water, wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. Next is sunlight. You must all be well aware of how crucial light is in winter, so I won't say more about that. In addition, you can also prune it.

2. Specific methods

(1) Temperature: In late autumn, when the temperature gradually drops, we should move it indoors for care. In winter, be sure to keep the temperature above 5°C; if it is not enough, take some cold-protection measures.

(2) Watering: You can skip watering; if you are worried, you can wait until the potting soil is dry and then water a little. However, be sure to note that the amount of water must not be too much, as it is not good to let the roots sit in moist soil.

(3) Light: If the temperature on the balcony meets the requirements, you can place it on the balcony. If the temperature does not meet the requirements, place it indoors in a spot where it can receive light, such as a windowsill.

(4) Pruning: You can prune it moderately, which can both make its appearance more attractive and make certain preparations for flowering the following year.
