This is how to grow jasmine so it blooms from early summer all the way to late autumn

Jasmine flowers are pure white, later turning purplish red, fragrant, with a long bloom period, blooming from early summer all the way to late autumn. It can be roughly divided into 3 blooming peaks: the first blooming period is in June-July, the second blooming period is in July-August, the third blooming period is in August-September, among which the flowers that bloom in July-August are large. The fragrance is rich and long-lasting.

Jasmine likes plenty of sunlight, and likes fertile and acidic soil but dislikes alkaline soil. It is afraid of dampness, especially waterlogging. It is afraid of cold, growing best at temperatures of 25-35°C; at a temperature of 3°C, the branches will freeze to death.

In cold regions, you can move potted jasmine indoors before Cold Dew every year, and keep the indoor temperature at 12-14°C at night throughout the winter, with a daytime maximum temperature of 18-20°C being suitable. Indoors, pay attention to ventilation; move it outside at the start of summer and place it in a sunny and wind-sheltered spot.

In winter, generally do not fertilize indoors; fertilize again after it starts growing in spring; in midsummer, water with liquid fertilizer once a week, and at the same time supplement with 3% ferrous sulfate to prevent leaf yellowing.

Jasmine leaves are opposite, and the new shoots that grow from the leaf axils also come in pairs; the more branches and shoots, the more flowers. Generally, after moving it outside, prune and repot, or prune and repot indoors in early March. When pruning, generally leave branches 20-25 cm long and cut off all the rest; cut off overly old branches from the base to encourage new shoots to sprout. When new shoots reach 10 cm long, pinch off the growing tips.

Jasmine generally takes about 15 days from budding to forming flower buds. The flower bud development process is: from tender green -- yellow-green -- yellow-white -- milky white -- snow white. 4 hours after the flower opens, it turns from snow white to purplish red or yellow.

Jasmine flowering starts from the top and opens in pairs successively from top to bottom. Autumn flowers and spring flowers mostly open at night, while midsummer flowers mostly open in the evening. Flowering is most vigorous in 3-6 year old plants, after which they gradually age.

When caring for jasmine, gardening enthusiasts very easily run into the problem of yellow leaves. Let's analyze the causes together below:

1. Too much water, watered too frequently, causing poor drainage. The roots have difficulty breathing, causing root rot;

2. The water is too alkaline, or the growing soil is too alkaline;

3. Lack of nutrients.

Therefore, when caring for jasmine, gardening enthusiasts should be careful not to water it frequently, choose slightly acidic soil when repotting, and fertilize jasmine in time to supplement nutrients and promote growth.
