The latest cultivation methods and precautions for night jasmine
Night jasmine is also known as night fragrant flower, night orchid fragrance, and night clove. The distinguishing feature of night jasmine is that its flowers close during the day and open at night, and the floral fragrance also has an excellent insect-repelling effect, giving it considerable value. So how should night jasmine be cultivated? Come along with the editor to learn about it.
1. Cultivation methods
1. Suitable light and temperature conditions
Night jasmine does not have high temperature requirements. Generally, it can grow normally in a temperature environment between 12-33 degrees, and in winter it only needs to be kept at a temperature above 5 degrees to overwinter safely. During care, attention should also be paid to sufficient light, providing more than 5 hours of light each day so that it can grow and develop normally. In summer, strong direct sunlight will scorch its leaves, so appropriate shading treatment is needed to prevent water loss and wilting.
2. Fertilizer and water management
When cultivating night jasmine, it is generally enough to water once every 2-3 days to keep the growing environment sufficiently moist. In the high-temperature summer season, evaporation is high, so the watering frequency should be appropriately increased. Generally, it should be watered once in the morning and once in the evening each day, and at the same time the leaves should be misted from time to time to replenish moisture. Normally, a dilute fertilizer solution should be applied once every 10-15 days so that it has sufficient nutrients to grow and bloom.
3. Pruning and pest prevention
During the cultivation of night jasmine, attention should also be paid to pruning branches and leaves in a timely manner, doing the work of pinching and topping as well as pruning residual branches, so that the plant shape can be controlled. Only then can it grow better. At the same time, spray Uranus pesticide to control scale insects.
2. Precautions
1. Repot once a year
Night jasmine grows fairly well, so generally a new plant needs to be repotted once after one year of cultivation, usually in spring. Replace the flower pot with a new one, and only then prune its root system, retaining about one-third to one-half of the old soil so that it can adapt to the new environment. At the same time, ensure the potting soil is moist but not waterlogged.
2. Outdoor care
When night jasmine blooms, it gives off a rich fragrance and will attract many flying insects, so during care it is best to place it outdoors. This can both keep flying insects from gathering indoors and prevent people with high blood pressure or heart disease from experiencing breathing difficulty or chest tightness because of the floral fragrance.
