Original title: "When we grow jasmine, do you know which points need attention?"

Article summary: Cultivation can also be used to make decorations for bouquets. And many people grow jasmine at home because its flowering period is long and because of its scent, so they grow it. Of course, when we grow it, what do we need to pay attention to, and how should we grow it so that it can be grown better? Jasmine is probably the most common potted plant in our homes. And jasmine can also be called a very high-end and elegant flower. It can not only be used at home in pots

Soil selection for jasmine

When growing jasmine in pots in our north, we can choose loose, fertile, and well-draining acidic soil as the growing medium. When planting, we can use garden soil, compost soil, and sand to make nutrient soil suitable for jasmine growth. Of course, we can also add fully rotted mushroom stems and chicken and duck manure to the mix. Of course, we can also make some growing medium ourselves. We can use original soil, animal and plant garden soil, and of course these all contain branches and leaves, melon and fruit peels, feathers, fish innards, and many other things.

Matching fertilizer and nutrient soil

When we plant, we can choose to prepare it by layering one layer of soil and one layer of animal and plant materials, place it in a plastic bag or flower pot, then add rice washing water and press it down firmly. In this way, after one winter, it can be made into soil suitable for jasmine growth. Of course, in order to keep the soil acidic, we can water it with ferrous sulfate solution about once every ten days, so that the soil can remain acidic all the time.

Jasmine repotting process

Of course, when we grow jasmine, we also need to repot it appropriately. After jasmine has grown for about a few years, its root system will become tangled in the soil, so the physical properties of the growing medium will correspondingly become a bit worse. At this time, if we do not repot, it will seriously affect its growth, so at this time we need to repot it. When repotting, we can choose the time before jasmine sprouts, which is best. When repotting, generally there is no need to prune, let alone do so. It is enough to replace it with new nutrient soil and put some bone meal and horseshoe slices at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer. Of course, after repotting, we also need to water it and water it thoroughly.

Jasmine watering method

Of course, when watering, we need to water appropriately according to the habits of jasmine, because jasmine likes moisture but is also very afraid of waterlogging and likes airy conditions. So when we grasp these watering principles, in April, when jasmine is also sprouting branches and unfolding leaves, the temperature is also relatively not high and water consumption is not large, so we can water about once every three days. Watering around noon is best, so we can also water when the soil looks dry and let it dry between waterings. Of course, when watering, we must also water it thoroughly.

May is the flowering period of jasmine, so when watering, it should also be a little more than in the earlier stage, because at this time the weather is also relatively hotter, so it is also the peak flowering period of jasmine, and the sunlight is also relatively stronger, so its water demand is also greater. We can water it once each in the morning and evening. And when the weather is very dry, we should also sprinkle water around its leaves and splash water on the ground as well, so as to increase the humidity in the air. When the weather turns cold, we must strictly adjust the amount of watering.

Fertilizing, and the effects brought by base fertilizer

Because jasmine relatively likes fertilizer, when its flowering period is long, we need to give it more. Only in this way can it grow better and get more nutrients. And for these fertilizers, we can use kitchen scraps to make liquid fertilizer. Put rice washing water, soybean cake, and ferrous sulfate into a jar, then expose it to the sun for about 20 days before use. The fertilizer water prepared in this way can not only meet its need for fertilizer water, but can also change the acid-base level in the soil.

Of course, during the flowering season of jasmine, we should also give it proper rest, because pruning is what allows its branches and leaves to become more luxuriant, and it will also bloom more. So we do not need to worry at all that jasmine cannot survive better in our northeast weather. It can also overwinter well in winter. As long as we follow the above points, we can grow beautiful jasmine at home.
