Jasmine needs to be pruned for a good shape and more flowers - a full record in words and pictures

After jasmine is moved outside in spring, it needs a heavy pruning: cut out dead branches and thin weak branches, and shorten the remaining branches. These are the buds that sprouted after pruning this April.

Growth condition by early May.

After early summer begins, some new branches sprouting from the base or the middle-lower part (water sprouts) grow rapidly, with very obvious apical dominance, growing long and soft and not easy to flower. For this kind of branch, shorten it according to the plant's shape requirements, which can promote branching, maintain the tree shape and form flower buds. Buds are about to appear. The current temperature is not high, so even if it flowers, the quality is not good, so these branches will be lightly pruned to help produce fragrant and abundant flowers in the hot season.

It kept raining for the past few days and no fertilizer was applied, so the leaves grew thin.

After nearly two months of growth, the new branches have become semi-lignified. Because the temperature in the first growth stage was not high, the branches are relatively thin and the flower buds are sparse and small. They should be shortened and fertilizer and water management strengthened; after that, strong branches will sprout and bloom abundantly.

The first batch of new branches is thin and weak and the flower buds are small, so you must be ruthless and cut them off.

Done pruning. It looks a bit ugly, right? Don't worry, it will soon be lush again.

Don't throw away the new branches you cut off. The sunlight on the rooftop is intense and the soil dries easily. Covering cherry tomatoes or other flower pots with them can both lower the temperature and retain moisture, and after decomposition they are also very good organic matter.

There are flowers.

Sprouting condition 9 days after the first pruning during the growth period.

Flower bud condition, and I saw the legendary "nine-headed bird"

Everyone, please smell it. Is it fragrant? Unfortunately, there has been too much rain recently and almost no sunlight, so the leaves are rather thin and the flowers are rather small.
