Let's take a look. This jasmine already has one main trunk divided into three side branches. When we prune, in spring we can prune heavily. Cutting the branches back hard doesn't matter; it will grow very quickly. First find its bud nodes and keep two to three bud nodes, then cut off the rest. Depending on the plant, we need to prune flexibly. It is best to keep them all at the same height for a beautiful plant shape.

Because this pot has already been badly grown, with leggy branches and yellowing leaves, it is time to change the potting soil, because the nutrients in the potting soil are no longer enough to support its growth.

First pat off the soil from the root system. Because jasmine is woody and its roots are relatively robust, damaging some fine roots will not have much effect. Shake all the soil clean.

The old soil should be discarded because it has no nutrients left. The soil mix should be loose and breathable. You can use perlite, vermiculite, peat soil, and mix in some pine needle soil to make the soil slightly acidic.

When potting, first place some broken bricks at the bottom of the pot to keep the bottom of the potting soil breathable. Then put the soil into one third of the flower pot, gently place the plant's root system into the pot, then slowly fill the pot with soil. Hold the jasmine with one hand and do not let the roots bunch together.

After repotting, water thoroughly. This is the settling water. Then cover it with a bag to retain moisture, poke a few holes in the bag for ventilation, place it in a place with indirect light, and let it recover for a week. Then gradually increase the light.

In this way, the jasmine will quickly sprout new buds with emerald green leaves. As long as nutrients are sufficient, it will bloom almost every month.
