Orange jasmine costs 5 yuan a pot and has an intense fragrance; snap off a branch and you can propagate dozens of pots

Orange jasmine (Murraya paniculata) is so beautiful when it blooms, and so fragrant, commonly said to be able to "send its scent nine li away." So how should we grow and raise seedlings at home?

The best solution: the simplest is to buy online: an ordinary plant costs about 5 yuan, and a fairly well-formed potted orange jasmine costs about 20 yuan, with free shipping; the price is fairly reasonable.

The best propagation method - seed propagation

If you are interested, you can propagate by seed,

1. Time: generally choose spring or early summer when the temperature is around 15°C, though autumn also works.

2. Seed soaking: generally soak 24 hours in advance. But you can also skip soaking. The soaking method is: soak in clean water at around 30°C for 12-24 hours, then scoop out and drain off the water before planting.

3. Sowing: in open fields, furrow sowing is generally used, with a spacing of 15X25 between plants and rows; after broadcasting, do not cover the seeds with too much soil, generally about 1.5 cm of loose soil is enough. In flower pots, just sow them individually,

4. Watering: generally water thoroughly, then cover with straw mats or branches and leaves. Note that during germination, water generally once every 7-10 days, that is, keep the soil moist; at the same time, also pay attention, depending on how dry the weather is, observe the condition of the pot soil yourself and decide accordingly.

5. Fertilizing: because of the natural conditions of orange jasmine, the sprouting time is generally about 30 days; among the processes of propagating many kinds of seeds, this time is relatively long. From this point of view, it is not as good as just buying a pot online. Forget it. During this period, do not fertilize, to prevent fertilizer from burning the embryo buds. Generally, after sprouting, you can apply decomposed cake fertilizer water once every half month.

The least troublesome propagation method:

It is the layering propagation method. This layering propagation is generally relatively easy, with a higher survival rate, and is usually carried out in summer, but friends, this takes longer, generally about 50 days; however, one branch can propagate dozens of pots, which is quite interesting too.
