Flowering time:
Jasmine greatly loves fertilizer. As long as it is cared for properly, a potted jasmine can bloom three times a year. If there is insufficient fertilizer and not enough nutrients, after blooming once, it will no longer bloom. If management is done well, it can bloom continuously from the end of May to the beginning of November. The key is the control of pruning, sunlight, and fertilizer and water.
Jasmine begins to bloom successively from early summer. If managed properly, it can produce three peak flowering periods. In early June, jasmine successively produces early flowers; from late June to early July is the first peak flowering period; in early August, the second flowering period forms; from early September to early October, the third flowering period forms.
Market price:
The market price of jasmine varies by region, size, and variety. Generally, ordinary single-petal jasmine is about 5-10 yuan per pot, and double-petal jasmine is about 10-20 yuan per pot. It is worth noting that most varieties of jasmine are afraid of cold and drought, and are not tolerant of frost, waterlogging, or alkaline soil. When the winter temperature is below 3°C, the branches and leaves are prone to frost damage, and if it lasts for a long time, they will die.
Growing techniques:
1. Potting soil
Potted jasmine requires soil rich in organic matter and with good air permeability and aeration. Fertile, slightly acidic sandy soil can be used.
2. Fertilizing
Jasmine loves fertilizer, so the potting soil should maintain sufficient fertility. The high-temperature period in summer is the peak growing season for jasmine. At this time, more fertilizer should be applied, and it needs to be fertilized twice a month. If in summer the jasmine branches and buds are lush but it does not bloom, it is because too much fertilizer has been applied, causing excessive vegetative growth of the plant. In this situation, watering and fertilizing should be controlled so that it promptly forms buds. At the same time, attention should be paid to moving the jasmine to a sunny, well-ventilated place for cultivation.
3. Watering
Jasmine is not drought-tolerant, so it needs to be watered more. However, during the high-temperature period in summer, absolutely do not allow water to accumulate in the pot, otherwise it will cause root rot. In the rainy season, the flower pot should be tipped in time to prevent water accumulation. In the hot summer, water once each morning and evening every day. If the leaves are found to be curled, water should be sprayed on the leaves in time to promote growth and development.
4. Environment
Jasmine likes hot, humid, ventilated, and airy environments and needs sufficient light. It is afraid of cold. In the south, potted jasmine can be grown outdoors through the winter, while in the north, warmth protection must be done in autumn and winter, and it should be moved indoors and placed in a south-facing direction. With strong light, the branches and stems are robust, the leaf color is deep green, and there are many fragrant flowers; with insufficient sunlight, the nodes are sparse, there are few flowers, and they are not fragrant.
