One jasmine branch blooms with 10 flowers, and Grandma's care tips make the fragrance carry 2 kilometers

Summer really is the season for growing jasmine. Keep a pot at home, and every time it blooms, the fragrance lasts for several days. Not only is the whole room filled with scent, it even seems to cling to your clothes. So, why not take advantage of summer and grow a pot of jasmine right away!

Grow jasmine like this in summer, and it will bloom nonstop!

1. Plenty of sunlight

They say jasmine cannot be sunburned to death. Only with plenty of sunlight will jasmine grow vigorously and bloom abundantly. So gardeners who keep jasmine at home must be sure to place it on a sunny south-facing balcony or terrace, and if conditions allow, in the yard is best.

2. Water frequently

Summer weather is hot and water evaporates fairly quickly, so jasmine at home must be watered frequently. As long as the potting soil is loose and airy, you can water 1-2 times a day, and you can also mist the leaves in the morning and evening to ensure enough air humidity.

3. Add some fertilizer

If you want jasmine to bloom many times, you must replenish nutrients. During the vigorous growth period of jasmine, you can add more nitrogen fertilizer, such as compound fertilizer or chicken manure fertilizer; before jasmine blooms, switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, such as fruit peel fertilizer, and you can also spray a 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves, so that jasmine will bloom more.

4. Slightly acidic soil

Jasmine likes acidic soil, so when preparing the soil, besides being loose and airy, you must ensure it is slightly acidic. You can mix earthworm castings, river sand, perlite, coconut coir and so on. It is not only permeable and airy, but also adds fertilizer, so that jasmine will not have water accumulate in the pot, and thus grow more and more vigorously!

Prune jasmine like this, and it will bloom as many times as you want!

If you want jasmine to bloom more, pruning is an indispensable step!

1. Routine pruning

As jasmine keeps growing, it often develops messy branches or even leggy growth. If your jasmine also shows this situation, then prune it quickly to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption and let jasmine grow more vigorously!

2. Pruning after flowering

After jasmine blooms, you must prune it in time to avoid nutrient consumption and let jasmine bloom a second round as soon as possible. When pruning jasmine, generally cut directly from the position 2-3 pairs of leaves below the spent flowers, cutting off the spent flowers together with the leaves.

Propagate jasmine branches like this, and instantly turn 1 pot into 10 pots!

Whether from routine pruning or pruning after flowering, do not just throw away those cut branches. They are perfect for cuttings, and will instantly let you turn one pot into 10 pots in no time!

How to do it?

1. The cut jasmine branches need to be trimmed again. Keep only 2 leaves on each branch, and it is best to cut the lower end of the branch at a 45° angle, then let the wound dry in a cool place.

2. If you want to plant the cuttings directly, prepare perlite, vermiculite or other loose, airy nutrient soil, insert the jasmine branches with dried wounds directly, then water thoroughly, and place them in a well-ventilated spot with plenty of scattered light.

3. If you want to root them in water, you can directly insert the trimmed jasmine branches into a bottle filled with water, let the lower end of the branch just barely touch the water surface, then place it indoors in a well-ventilated spot.

4. Summer weather is hot, and basically it takes only 15-20 days for the jasmine cuttings to root. Prepare permeable, airy soil, plant the rooted jasmine into it, and you will instantly get several new pots of jasmine!

Why does jasmine often get yellow leaves? The reasons are all here!

Reason one for jasmine yellow leaves: soil tends to be alkaline

Jasmine likes acidic soil. If the soil at home is alkaline for a long time, especially for gardeners in the north, it is even more likely to cause jasmine yellow leaves.

Solution:

If your jasmine has yellow leaves because the soil tends to be alkaline, then when watering, you can mix a little salt-free edible vinegar into the potting soil, or a citric acid or ferrous sulfate solution, using it about once every 1-2 weeks, and it will solve the problem of alkaline soil.

Reason two for jasmine yellow leaves: water accumulation and root rot

Although jasmine likes water, you cannot keep watering it all the time. If you water too much and cause water to accumulate in the pot, over time jasmine will certainly get yellow leaves, and it may even suffer root rot and die!

Solution:

If jasmine has been overwatered, quickly place it in a well-ventilated spot so the water in the pot can evaporate as soon as possible. At the same time, use a small stick to loosen the soil a little to prevent the soil from compacting. If the water accumulation is especially severe, then you can only change the soil.

Reason three for jasmine yellow leaves: pests and diseases

Summer temperatures are high, and combined with poor ventilation, jasmine is very prone to pests and diseases, especially red spider mites and aphids. Once infected by pests or diseases, jasmine leaves will turn yellow, and then gradually drop.

Solution:

If you find that jasmine has pests or diseases, you can rinse the leaves with clean water every morning and evening, or light a mosquito coil beside the jasmine pot, then find a large plastic bag and cover both the mosquito coil and the jasmine together. If you find even this too troublesome, then soak some tobacco shreds in water and use it directly to kill the pests. The results are all excellent!
