How to care for jasmine in winter? The latest care methods are here

Jasmine comes in many flower colors, and when it blooms it is bright and beautiful, and it also gives off an enticing fragrance, making it deeply loved by flower growers. However, when growing it in winter, attention must be paid: jasmine is not cold-tolerant, so preparations need to be made. So how should jasmine be grown in winter? Follow the editor to learn more about it.

1. Take good insulation and anti-freezing measures

Jasmine has low cold resistance and becomes somewhat fragile at low winter temperatures, so in winter, good insulation and anti-freezing measures should be taken. When early winter begins, the temperature starts to gradually drop. At this time, it can be kept outdoors; when it adapts to the temperature drop, it will also undergo corresponding changes itself. When the temperature drops to around 5°C, it can be moved indoors for growing, but note that sufficient light must still be maintained. If there is no heating facility indoors, when the temperature is below 0°C, a plastic bag can be used to cover it for insulation.

2. Control watering

After entering winter, jasmine will enter a dormant state. At this time, its physiological functions basically stop, so it does not have excessive demands for water; generally, it is enough to keep the potting soil slightly moist. In winter, water generally once every 2-3 weeks, and the amount of water should not be too large; just water a little along the edge of the pot. Also note that when the temperature drops sharply, do not water; wait until the temperature rises and choose to water at noon when there is plenty of sunlight. Once you water when the temperature drops sharply, it is very likely to cause frost damage to the jasmine root system, and during the overwintering period it is very likely to cause the plant to die.

3. Stop fertilizing

Jasmine flowers come in many colors and bloom brightly. When blooming, they consume a large amount of nutrients, so during normal care, fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium need to be applied in time to make the flowers bloom more brightly. However, in winter there is no need to fertilize; fertilizing can be stopped in October, otherwise it will cause jasmine to grow leggy, and may even cause wilting and death.

4. Pruning

Pruning jasmine before winter enters is a very important step. It can not only help jasmine overwinter safely, but also make jasmine grow better. All the aged, thin and weak, and non-flowering branches of jasmine can be pruned off, keeping part of the branches and leaves at the lower part. This can increase the jasmine's beauty and also enable jasmine to produce even more beautiful flowers the following year.
