After jasmine finishes blooming, let me teach you a trick: the flower buds can keep growing

After jasmine finishes blooming, cut the flowering branches at the point 1-2 pairs of leaves away from the main stem; the cutting point should be decided according to the direction of the axillary buds. After the flowers fade, the spent flowers and overly long branches should also be cut off. In addition, diseased branches, dead branches and long, flowerless shoots should also be pruned in time. After pruning, make sure there is plenty of sunlight; do not rush to fertilize and water appropriately.

I. Pruning methods

1. After jasmine finishes blooming, it should be pruned appropriately, usually by cutting the flowering branches at the point 1-2 pairs of leaves away from the main stem. Be careful not to damage the axillary buds.

2. Decide the cutting point according to the direction in which the axillary buds grow; usually new flower buds will grow about 30-40 days after pruning.

3. After pruning, place it in a sunny spot for care and water appropriately. Do not rush to fertilize it; wait until it grows new buds before fertilizing appropriately.

4. After the flowers fade, remove the spent flowers in time and prune the overly long branches appropriately; long, flowerless shoots should be cut back more. Pruning is best done on sunny days, and diseased and dead branches should be cut off as well.

II. Reasons for flowers fading early

1. Overwatering: although jasmine likes moisture, it is very afraid of waterlogging. If the amount of water is too large, it will easily drop buds and the flowers will fade faster.

2. Insufficient light: when it is blooming, make sure there is plenty of light. If you want it to bloom longer, give it enough nutrients and water appropriately. Usually ensure proper ventilation to avoid the flowers fading early.
